he 2018 MACH Show will be the platform for
demonstrating SICK’s UK SafetyIQ concept,
the company’s universal approach to ensuring
safe, compliant personnel protection without
compromising on machine availability, efficiency and
productivity.
SICK’s machinery safety experts will be on hand on stand H18-421 to
discuss SafetyIQ, a full suite of safety products, services and systems
underpinned by networking and integration that enables customers to
achieve Industry 4.0-ready functional safety in automated production.
Safe human-machine collaboration will take centre stage on SICK’s
stand with an Industry 4.0 robot exhibit. Visitors will be able to
personally interact with the robot, demonstrating a range of SICK
solutions including robot guidance, RFID and 2D LiDAR scanning
technologies as well as showing how SICK’s safety light curtain and
laser scanning technologies can be successfully integrated with the
SICK FlexiSoft safety controller.
“Visitors to the MACH show are the engineers and production
managers working right on the front line of human-machine
interaction. They need to ensure compliant functional safety for
operations such as metal forming and machining where operator
safety is always the first priority but where flexibility in production is
increasingly demanded,” says Seb Strutt, SICK UK’s machinery safety
specialist
“As the inventors of the safety light curtain, SICK has led the way in
machinery safety for more than 40 years. SafetyIQ will ensure SICK
continues to partner productively with customers, helping them
to develop safety concepts they can rely on to meet all relevant
regulations, while still achieving cost-efficient solutions that minimise
downtime.”
Among the highlights on the SICK stand will be the SICK microScan3
safety laser scanner with recently-added EtherNet/IPTM and PROFINET
compatibility to enable easy integration of safety laser scanners into a
safe network. This also facilitates simultaneous field evaluation of up to
four fields, instead of the single field offered by standard I/O scanners.
Especially when teamed with the Flexi Soft FX3-MOC Drive Monitor,
the DFS60S Pro permits safe working without loss of productivity
during routine operations, such as piece part loading, magazine
replacement, adjustment on machining centres or splicing of material
on reel-fed machinery.
SICK’s manufacturing technical sales staff will be on hand to answer
questions about SICK’s industrial instrumentation products including
for fluid sensing, and Industry-4.0 ready smart photoelectric sensors.
