Speed & length: The endless quest for precision(26/02/2021)

Welcome to the latest DPA video interview! Today I’m with Darren Pratt, Product Manager for Motion Control Sensors at SICK. We will be looking at ways to overcome the challenges of measuring speed & length in continuously-fed and cut-to-length materials, including by using some promising new sensing technologies.
Speed and length: The endless quest for precision(17/02/2021)

Darren Pratt, SICK’s UK Product Manager for motion control, considers the challenges for achieving precise measurement of continuous and cut-to-Length materials. He introduces the new SPEETEC non-contact laser measurement technology from SICK that can make processes more efficient and reduce the need for product give-away.
SICK unveils next-generation single-beam safety switches(11/02/2021)

SICK has unveiled its next-generation L25 and L26 family of single-beam photoelectric safety switches, equipped with SICK’s “BluePilot” alignment and IO-Link for smart, real-time communication.
Making light work of function blocks(03/02/2021)

If you’ve ever had to integrate an IO-Link device into any kind of automated system, the chances are you’ll have had to create a function block. Time savers as they are, function blocks are still rather a tedious part of the job.
SICK’s ready-made quality control system is super versatile(16/12/2020)

SICK’s newly developed MQCS (Modular Quality Control System) is an “off the shelf”, multifunctional machine vision system, delivered as a ready-to-use package of hardware and pre-written software.
SICK’s ‘Sceptre’ crowns safety system king of the active/passives(27/11/2020)

With the innovation of its Sceptre high-performance prism optic reflector, SICK has extended the range of its deTem 4 A/P multiple light beam system to eight metres, the longest ever available for an active/passive safety device, suitable for applications up to SIL3/PLe.
Look but don’t touch: The SICK SPEETEC speed and length sensor(11/11/2020)
