Safety Light Curtain for Reliable Protection

SICK deTec4 light
March 25, 2016

SICK, Minneapolis, launched the deTec4 Prime safety light curtain for reliable protection even in the toughest environments.  

Additional functionalities of the deTec4 Prime include a proprietary built-in laser alignment aid that provides a visible laser for saving time when setting up or readjusting the light curtain. In addition, the deTec4 Prime can be cascaded to protect multiple sides of a machine by connecting up to 3 pairs of light curtains using standard M12 connectors. Furthermore, the deTec4 Prime can be configured via four different M12 system plugs without the need for a computer.

The deTec4 safety light curtains are electro-sensitive protective devices that comply with performance level “e” in accordance with EN ISO 13849 and SIL3 in accordance with IEC 61508. Rugged enough to stand up to the toughest requirements, the new deTec4 Prime has a scanning range of 21 m and a resolution of 30 mm, providing reliable protection for a wide range of machine types.
