1.Robotic Welding Cell Protection
In robotic welding areas, workers occasionally need to enter the cell for setup or inspection. The SICK C40E-1203CB010 creates an invisible safety barrier around the robot’s workspace. Its 1,200 mm detection height and ultra-fast 13 ms response time instantly stop motion if a person crosses the protected zone. The 21 m scanning range covers large robotic cells, while its Type 4 safety level ensures compliance with strict international safety standards—allowing high productivity without compromising operator protection.
2.Press Brake and Metal Forming Safety
Metal bending and pressing machines present high-risk pinch points. Installing this safety light curtain across the machine’s access area prevents accidental hand or body entry during operation. Once the protective beam is broken, the machine halts immediately, avoiding potential injury. Adjustable scanning distances and external device monitoring make it easy to integrate into complex control systems. It keeps workers safe while enabling operators to perform alignment or setup tasks efficiently between production cycles.
3.Automated Palletizing and Packaging Lines
In high-speed palletizing systems, human and robotic movements often occur within shared spaces. The C40E-1203CB010 maintains a safe zone around moving pallets or robotic arms, ensuring that no personnel enter active areas during loading or unloading. Its floating blanking feature allows packages to pass without false stops, while IP65 protection and durable aluminum housing ensure dependable operation even in dusty or humid industrial environments. This prevents accidents and maintains workflow continuity in 24-hour operations.
4.Assembly and Conveyor Line Zone Safety
On multi-station assembly lines, different operators and machines work side by side. The C40E-1203CB010 defines independent safety zones, ensuring only one section stops when someone enters for maintenance. Its EFI communication enables smart coordination with safety controllers, allowing partial line shutdowns without interrupting upstream production. The combination of optical synchronization, flexible setup, and reliable safety logic helps manufacturers maintain smooth operation, increased uptime, and worker protection in automated production systems.
