Taking safety to the next level

SICK has added a tough version to its safety light curtain family, the deTec4 Prime is an extra-rugged, high-performance light curtain that is said to be easy to install and use. It is suitable for harsh environments and wide machines in applications such as machine tool operation; automotive production; warehousing and logistics and FMCG goods handling and packaging.

With integrated laser alignment for simple installation, the SICK deTec4 Prime is claimed to provide end-to-end protection with no blind zones and a scanning range up to 21m.

Cascading up to three deTec4 Prime safety light curtains minimises wiring complexity and reduces the number of safety inputs in the control cabinet. The coded light beam option prevents optical interference between devices in side-by-side applications.

The SICK deTec4 Prime offers protective field heights in increments from 300 to 2100mm and a choice of finger or hand resolution providing protection against operator intervention in accordance with EN ISO 13855.

The SICK deTec4 Prime benefits from a tough,IP65 or IP67, impact and warp resistant enclosure with an operating temperature range from -300 to 550°C and LEDs along both sender and receiver indicate the field, OSSD’s and state of the light curtains allowing efficient maintenance and diagnostics.
