Stricter safety regulations and the need for tamper-proof safety at work make modern safety switches indispensable in machine building. Non-contact safety switches from Sick can be used for the safe monitoring of movable guards as well as for position monitoring.
The choice among three operating principles (magnetic, transponder and inductive) and different designs allow the selection of the solution that best fits the application requirements and the one that is most efficient.

Magnetic safety switches:
The use of magnetic safety switches is an advantage in areas with high contamination or strict hygiene regulations. In applications where precise guiding of the protective device is difficult, magnetic safety switches from Sick are the right choice.

Transponder safety switches:
Transponder safety switches are used in applications which require a protection against tampering. The saved actuator code is the same as the safety switch code, ensuring protection against tampering. Transponder safety switches also have a high response range, this offers advantages during installation and increases the availability during machine’s life.

Inductive safety switches:
Inductive safety switches are used for non-contact and wear-free position detection. They do not require a special counterpart but detect metal such as VA or ST37. In comparison with electro-mechanical position switches, inductive safety switches have a wide response range and are therefore not affected by mounting tolerances, which simplifies installation and adjustment.

From the inventor of the light curtain. 

The color yellow represents safety and the name Sick is synonymous with innovation.
Sick developed the very first light curtain for accident prevention on machinery back in
the 1950s. Much of the original concept remains in the safety light curtains from Sick – but today they offer even more.

We have amassed more than half century of experience and expertise in the field of safety – and what are we doing with it? We continue to innovate, so customers can take their applications to the next level. The result is the deTec4 Prime – a new safety light curtain in our deTec product family and the new benchmark for versatility and ease of operation.

Sick, creator of the safety light curtain, is the world‘s leading manufacturer of optical safety devices.

Sick is now introducing a completely new generation of light curtains – the deTec4 Core and the deTec2 Core. With this development, SICK is focusing on the essentials: state-of-the-art safety.

Sick’s portfolio of electro-mechanical safety switches contains four product groups: safety position switches, safety hinge switches, safety switches with separate actuator and safety locking devices. This enables users to choose the appropriate solution for a variety of different applications. When combined with sens: Control – safe control solutions – Sick offers complete solutions from a single source.

Safety locking devices are used for keeping guards safely locked until a hazardous area can be entered. They are intended for applications in which there is an immediate danger to people when delayed stopping or an uncontrolled process interruption has the potential to cause injury or death. There are two restraint types, including spring force locking and magnetic force locking. With spring force locking, the guard is held closed by spring force. In magnetic force locking, the guard is held closed by activation of the magnetic coil. 

Free choice of space for the safety: Mirror and device columns from SICK are used in applications where it is difficult to mount optoelectronic protective devices. Used together, mirror and device columns are the ideal solution to protect multi-sided areas in machining centres or material transfer applications.

The optoelectronic devices can be mounted to freestanding device columns to ensure hazardous areas are properly safeguarded. Mirror columns are used in conjunction with device columns to deflect the beam
from the sender to the receiver. Since multiple sides of a machine can be protected with a single pair of devices, the overall wiring is reduced. In addition to reliable device protection, the device columns have two external mounting grooves, which enable muting arms to be installed.
