“SICK has been a leader and innova- tor in safety light curtains for more than 60 years and we believe the deTec4 sets a new best in class benchmark for single sided access protection,” said Dr Martin Kidman, SICK (UK) safety specialist. “It is progress that has been recognised with an International Forum (iF) Product Design Award,” he added. “The DeTec4 is very easy to install and commission with an automatic range measurement of up to ten metres. Once set-up it operates economically and reliably.”
Through the space saving, robust design of the SICK deTec4 safety dis- tances can be minimised to achieve best possible machine integration as well as higher operator productivity. The SICK deTec4 Core offers protec- tive field heights in increments from 300mm to 2,100mm and a choice of finger (14mm) or hand (30mm) resolu- tion providing protection against opera-

tor intervention in accordance with EN ISO 13855 up to ten metres. In addition, it complies with performance level ‘e’ (EN ISO 13849), Type 4 (IEC61496) and SIL 3 (IEC61508). As the deTec4 Core sensor works only in protective mode, configuration and range adjustment is automatic, requiring no additional set-up, diag- nostic codes are simple and additional functions can be set-up via safety relays, or the SICK Flexi Classic or Flexi Soft safety controllers. A combination of the innovative mounting bracket configuration, semi- circular contours and alignment LEDs greatly facilitate the alignment process meaning the SICK deTec4 Core can be installed quickly and easily in seconds. The SICK deTec4 Core benefits from an IP67 enclosure and an operating tem- perature range from -300°C to 550°C, guaranteeing operation in harsh condi- tions and a variety of demanding indus- trial environments.
