productSmart sensors and safety systems
At PPMA 2018, visitors to the SICK UK stand will learn how technology developments in smart sensors and machinery safety systems can release latent productivity benefits that help engineers to aggregate ‘marginal gains’ and achieve significant yields in efficiency, throughput and reduced waste.
productInfrared LiDAR sensors
Designed for high-precision, reliable distance sensing and ranging, the LMS1000 and MRS1000 infrared LiDAR sensors from SICK are suitable for both indoor or outdoor applications and incorporate SICK’s High Definition Distance Measurement (HDDM+) triple-echo’ scanning technology, enabling consistency in performance to be achieved, even in adverse environmental conditions.
productRobots with a gentle touch
SICK has launched its fully-programmable TrispectorP1000 3D vision camera to enable reliable, continuous in-line product detection to be easily customised for robotic belt picking applications for the packaging industry.
articleGetting to 4.0 – one hard-won gain at a time
If you work in manufacturing, you will be used to hearing about Industry 4.0, the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution, and its vision of a brave new world for automation, just around the corner. It’s an exciting prospect. Yet, in reality, Industry 4.0 is much less about revolution, than it is about winning through steady, incremental progress, according to Seb Strutt, senior product manager for SICK UK
productSafe access to fenceless robots
SICK has introduced a simple to implement and regulatory-compliant safety protection system – SICK Safe Robotics Area Protection – enabling unrestricted safe access to fenceless robots.
productHigh-definition streaming camera
SICK’s Ranger3 high-definition streaming camera is powered by the company’s Imager with ROCC (Rapid On-Chip Calculation technology). Said to be faster than any comparable device on the market, it is capable of capturing 7000 profiles per second at full sensor acquisition.
productUnrestricted safe access to fenceless robots
SICK’s regulatory-compliant protection system enables unrestricted safe access to fenceless robots.
productContour-based localisation system
SICK’s all-in-one NAV-LOC localisation solution, enables Automated Guided Vehicles to navigate reliably and efficiently around shop floor and warehouse environments without the need for reflectors or other physical markers
productIO-Link compatibility added to absolute encoders
With the launch of its AHS36 (singleturn) and AHM36 (multiturn) IO-Link absolute encoders, SICK has opened up wide-ranging possibilities to integrate rotary motion sensing into the ‘smart’ sensor configurations of automated machinery.
