SICK has launched an industry-first safety light curtain system for Smart Box Detection, designed to enable the continuous safe material flow of cartons or cuboid goods at the entry or exit points of protected areas, while safeguarding people from dangerous materials handling, conveying or packaging machinery.

In 1854, the celebrated Irish Physicist John Tyndall observed how light could be made to travel in an arcing stream of water. The discovery established the principle of ‘total internal reflection’, that light energy can be ‘piped’ to a destination, through a highly refractive material.

SICK has announced the launch of its MPB10 Multi-Physics Box condition monitoring sensor, a pioneering and rugged bolt-on device designed to deliver real-time, continuous service data from industrial machines, including electric motors, pumps, fans and conveyor systems, even in the harshest industry environments.

SICK has developed the flexLock, an RFID-monitored safety lock with a 180° actuation radius, creating a versatile protective device for safe locking of doors, flaps and gates.

SICK has launched its next-generation, intelligent and powerful WLL80 fibre-optic sensors, designed for easy configuration and highly versatile integration into machinery and conveyor systems wherever rapid, high-accuracy detection is required in confined spaces.

As manufacturers face rising energy bills, SICK has launched the FTMg with Monitoring App, an Industry 4.0 solution that helps them see the data they need to reduce energy consumption through better control of compressed air.

SICK has expanded its portfolio of solutions for automotive manufacturing with a purpose-designed machine vision system, for inspecting high-voltage batteries during the assembly of electric vehicles.

SICK has launched The Monitoring Box, a simple system that enables plug-and-play condition monitoring and preventative maintenance of sensors, machines, processes and plants.
