SICK has added to its safety light curtain range for protecting hazardous points and access points with the deTec4 Prime safety light curtain.

The product builds upon the deTec4 Core and combines the features of existing light curtain variants in one device with additional functionalities. It offers a simple cloning plug design, allowing users to configure the basic variants to suit an application’s requirements using four variably interchangeable plugs. By inserting the plug, the product then switches to detection mode and the operator confirms the change, establishing the configuration.

The device complies with performance level ‘e’ in accordance with EN ISO 13849, and SIL3 in accordance with IEC 61508, and also comes with IP65 and IP67 ratings to operate within a temperature range of -30 to +55°C. With graduated 150 mm divisions, the product offers 13 protective field heights from 300 to 2100 mm. Available with 14 and 30 mm resolution, it can be used in applications that require a reliable way to keep fingers away from a system.

The product also has integrated LEDs and diagnostic functions. Due to its integrated alignment display with four LEDs, this ensures fast positioning of the transmitter and receiver, as well as automatic calibration of the range up to 24 m at 30 mm resolution.

A variety of accessories is available, such as mounting brackets, cables, local reset switches, mirror columns and protective field extensions.
