With intelligent sensors achieves more

Today day is inconceivable a technician of storage and of transport, as well as some installations and systems intralogísticos modern without a high degree of automation. Although the processes —already treat of vehicles autoguiados, carriers and systems of classification or high warehouses— seem guided by a ‘invisible hand', the installations are not empty. By the contrary, often is easy to see to personnel of warehouse or of maintenance in the inmediaciones of the machines. If no they apply them measured of protection, these machines in automatic way can suppose a danger for the people that have to access to a point of danger or go in in a dangerous zone without protection by exigencias of the process or with ends of maintenance. The catalogue of technologies of hygiene of Sick includes numerous solutions certified of sensors and of control that allow to protect the machines of effective form, ergonomic and profitable. Of this form, no only avoids the risk of injuries, but also the responsibilities that of said injuries could derive for the companies that manufacture, put in circulation or use machines and installations intralogísticas.

The new photoelectric curtain of hygiene deTec4 Core of SICK, rewarded by his design, guarantees the maximum possible hygiene for the machines and the people in installations intralogísticas. By his resolutions, that allow to detect fingers and hands; his fields of protection without blind zones; the maximum height of these fields, that prevents the access by up, and the function of inhibition for the automatic differentiation of people and material, the photoelectric curtain of hygiene deTec4 Core is the logical solution for innumerable applications intralogísticas.

The curtain deTec4 Core is a new device of protection without contact that fulfils the level of provision (PL) ‘and' according to IN ISO 13849 and SIL3 according to IEC 61508. It provides the maximum degree of protection and supervision for the machines and the people in very distinct applications, for example with trays of insertion and extraction equipment equipment of automatic systems of storage and extraction equipment equipment; with modules paletizadores, despaletizadores, envolvedores of pallets or cambiadores of tyres; with stations of load of carriers suspended or with systems of vertical storage. The new deTec4 Core convinces in all they, beginning by his system of setting: so much the game of standard fixation ‘QuickFix' included, like the optional supports ‘FlexFix' orientables, allow a fast and simple setting of the device of protection, helped by the indicator of alineación integrated , that allows to position emisor and receptor of fast form, simple and optimum. For upper scopes finds available optionally the laser of alineación AR60.

The functions that deTec4 Core offers to the manufacturers of machines and to the integradores concentrate in the essential. The innovative design of the carcasa, distinguished with the prize iF Product Design Award 2013, characterises so much by his big resistance as by his reduced dimensions of 34 x 31 mm. The new exit of wire avoids all the blind zones by on or underneath of the field of protection, already use deTec4 Core with the resolution indicated to protect the fingers or with a greater resolution to detect the hand of reliable form. With his scope of 7 or 10 m and his resolution of 14 or  30 mm according to the version, this curtain is appropriate for practically all the tasks that can find in the installations of transport and storage. According to the machine and the function of hygiene can create fields of protection between 300 and 2.100 mm, in increases of 150 mm. With the maximum height, the curtain of hygiene deTec4 Core provides an explicit protection against the access by up according to IN ISO 13855.

The put in service of this photoelectric curtain of hygiene realises with an ease inusitada: place that the sensor works in way of protection, does not require configuration. The additional functions, like the inhibition for the safe differentiation of people and materials in the access to zones of danger or the automatic blockade of the new set up, can implement by means of a relay of hygiene EU48 of Sick or the controllers of hygiene Flexi Classic and Flexi Soft, also of Sick. During his put in service deTec4 Core adjusts the scope of automatic and exact form, by what is not necessary to select an upper or inferior scope in the curtain. A LED red and green indicates clearly his state of operation. In case of failure, the indicator of operation and of alineación of the curtain shows until picture codes of failure, what simplifies the diagnostic. Also it facilitates the work the fact to carry recorded his data of service in the sensor, like the reference, the number of series or the key of type, that are visible from in front even with the curtain mounted.

The innovations that incorporates the new photoelectric curtain of hygiene deTec4 Core have not conceived only for the classical ‘applications' in carriers estacionarios, lines of composition of remesas and of packed or high warehouses. By his degree of protection IP 65 and IP 67 and a rank of temperatures of service that goes from the ‘cold ‘ Siberian' of -30 °C until the +55 °C, can use also in difficult surroundings, e.g. to protect platforms giratorias and mechanisms of elevation or supervise the hygiene of stations robotizadas in warehouses refrigerated, without complementary measures like heating or carcasa protective.
