Product description
Compared to commercially available muting solutions, there is also a whole series of
advantages:
No muting sensors are required, as a result it is therefore not necessary to re-align the
sensors after changing the item transported.
less wiring, installation and maintenance effort
Valid objects can remain in the protective field for an unlimited amount of time (even
after restarting the machine). These aspects save valuable space in your system.
Fewer sensors are required, as a result availability is higher.
Significantly simpler circuit concept, it is only necessary to integrate the outputs on the
C4000 in the cut-off path.
For detailed information on the exact design of your machine/system, please contact your
local SICK representative.
Access protection with C4000 Access protection with muting
Due to the principle of operation of the C4000, a person can partially enter the protective
field under certain conditions without the OSSDs shutting down. This aspect is taken into
account in the formula for the calculation of the safety distance using an additional factor,
at variance with the standard (see section 6.2 “Determining the safety distance in a hori-
zontal application” on page 59).
If it can be ensured that there will always only be one object in the protective field, several
accesses can be monitored at once! In this case concealment in the shadow of the goods
must be prevented.
3.2.2 Vertical applications
The C4000 is mounted vertically in the direction of transport of the objects or vertically as
access protection or hazardous point protection.
