SENSORS & SENSING SYSTEMS SICK
Enhance safety and productivity with A
s part of its commitment to industrial safety and access guarding, SICK Sensor Intelligence has unveiled its powerful
new DMM4 muting module. The DMM4 meets a wide range of muting needs and is highly reliable, industrial safety without compromising productivity. SICK is a world leader in safe access protection and innovative light curtain muting and the DMM4 in its complete portfolio of solutions. It makes sure operators stay protected from hazardous products move through smoothly.
compatible with SICK’s deTec safety light curtains and deTem safety light-beam sensors for seamless
ENHANCED SAFETY AND EFFICIENT MATERIAL FLOW WITH THE DMM4 Muting is a method that has been around a long time and has developed to become more versatile. Modern manufacturing requires safe passage of goods between production processes and this is increasingly important as production becomes production and the DMM4 has a small footprint. SICK’s DMM4 robust muting module is integrated with all SICK deTec safety light curtains and deTem safety light-beam sensors to minimise the possibility of manipulation, while keeping
separate cabinet as it is equipped with protection and commissioning time. guarding, equipped with a host of new tools, dedicated muting module with a high IP rating, it can be used in safety function up to PLe (ISO 13849)/SIL3 (IEC 62061) and fully supports compliance with ISO 13855, the standard covering the requirements of positioning safeguards with respect to the approach of the human body. The DMM4 is a more powerful, slimmer SICK has released robust new support columns with micro adjustment capabilities and a built-in spirit level to complement it.
DMM4 DEMONSTRATES SICK’S RICH EXPERTISE IN SAFETY LIGHT CURTAINS
SICK has supplied safety light curtains since inventing the technology in 1946 and has a wealth more features than basic muting options and a safety PLC or safety controller. The free and intuitive SICK Safety Designer muting parameters, smart functions and operating mode, with key features including mode switch interlock, and access to a full diagnostics and error history.
Applications for the DMM4 muting module range from logistics (e.g. muting for AGVs, electric
forklifts or AMRs), to manufacturing (from large automotive parts to small consumer goods, food & beverage, and pharma).
WHY IS THE DMM4 IS THE BEST OPTION FOR SAFETY LIGHT CURTAIN MUTING?
Muting – or the temporary automatic suspension of a safety function by way of safety-related parts of the control system – aims to achieve protecting people from hazards. In the case of a safety light curtain, sensors and process signals can safely identify materials to initiate a mute and allow the product to pass through without stopping the system. The DMM4 muting module meets industry standards for safe equipment (ESPE), accurately and reliably differentiating between material and a person to provide safe conditions. photoelectric muting sensors are T and L layouts (as shown in the diagram and table below), with 2 or 4 beams either in parallel or arranged as cross beams, and control by way of timing or sequence. Martin Kidman, SICK manager – safety (S&W and Play, with easy installation and connectivity with the SICK deTec safety light curtain. “It’s part of a complete range of SICK safety
light curtain products, including light curtains, more about what our safety light curtains and the DMM4 muting module can bring to your business.”
