Product Description

SICK SGS4-S140P7TC1W02 Automation Light Grid – High-Accuracy 1,400 mm Object Detection

The SICK SGS4-S140P7TC1W02 automation light grid is built for precise vertical detection across a 1,400 mm sensing area, using 36 parallel infrared beams to reliably identify medium-sized items moving through production or logistics lines. Its slim optical layout and 40 mm beam spacing make it suited for equipment where installation space is limited. Operating on a straightforward sender–receiver principle, it delivers stable detection without requiring configuration steps. The IP65-rated housing, quick startup time, and strong resistance to bright ambient environments ensure dependable operation in industrial automation tasks.

The SGS4-S140P7TC1W02 is designed to help manufacturers achieve consistent process control with minimal wiring effort. When any beam is interrupted, the output reacts immediately, improving accuracy for counting, presence verification, and object profiling applications. Its 7 m operating range, high immunity to surrounding light, and optical synchronization reduce the need for alignment accessories or communication cables between sender and receiver. A PNP switching output integrates easily with machines using common control architectures. With a lightweight body and compact form, this light grid is well suited for modern equipment where reliability, fast integration, and low maintenance are critical.

Why SGS4-S140P7TC1W02?

The SGS4-S140P7TC1W02 stands out for its ability to deliver tall-area object detection with remarkable consistency, even in challenging factory lighting. Its slim housing, fast startup, and cable-free optical synchronization make it a smart choice for designers who want industrial reliability without installation complexity. It transforms basic detection into a stable, maintenance-friendly solution.

What Problem Does It Solve?

This model eliminates the common issues of missed objects, inconsistent triggering, and alignment difficulties in automated lines. It provides a dependable detection curtain for verifying presence, counting items, or ensuring clearance in tall conveyor zones. By offering a wide 1,400 mm detection field with precise parallel beams, it removes guesswork and enhances process accuracy.

The Applications of the SICK SGS4-S140P7TC1W02

1. High-Volume Conveyor Package Detection in Logistics Centers

Large distribution hubs depend on reliable detection to keep parcels moving to the correct destinations. The SGS4-S140P7TC1W02 creates a tall and uniform detection curtain that handles boxes of varied shapes without requiring frequent readjustment. Its slim profile allows installation beside narrow conveyors where space is limited, while its strong resistance to bright lighting ensures stable performance under warehouse skylights or high-power lamps. Because the system activates instantly after startup, operators can resume sorting with minimal delay after interruptions. This combination of height coverage, rapid response, and installation flexibility helps maintain routing accuracy and prevents packages from being overlooked during high-speed operations.

2. Presence Verification for Automated Palletizing and Depalletizing

Robotic palletizers and depalletizers require dependable confirmation that items are correctly positioned before a robot begins its motion sequence. The SGS4-S140P7TC1W02 forms a consistent vertical barrier that detects whether cartons, bags, or containers are present within the working zone. This helps prevent mis-picks and reduces the chance of a robot attempting to grip an absent or displaced item. The parallel beam layout offers dependable detection regardless of surface variations on packaging, which is valuable in environments with glossy films or uneven stacks. By ensuring each layer is accurately identified, facilities can maintain smooth automation cycles and improve overall pallet stability.

3. Dimension Checking for Assembly Line Infeed Stations

In assembly processes, incoming components must meet defined height or size criteria before being transferred to fixtures or machines. The SGS4-S140P7TC1W02 provides a tall, structured detection field that can identify whether parts fall outside acceptable height tolerances. When an oversized or incorrectly oriented piece approaches the workstation, the system can trigger a stop or diversion before damage occurs. Its compact frame allows placement close to infeed conveyors without redesigning equipment layouts. By catching deviations early, manufacturers reduce tool wear, avoid unplanned stoppages, and maintain balanced production flow, resulting in more consistent product quality and smoother downstream assembly operations.

4. Clearance Monitoring Around Automated Storage Lifts

Automated storage and retrieval systems rely on accurate information about whether a doorway or lift zone is fully clear before movement continues. The SGS4-S140P7TC1W02 establishes a vertical sensing plane that can identify lingering objects, protruding materials, or misplaced items that single-point sensors might overlook. Its strong ambient light immunity ensures reliable operation in warehouse aisles exposed to varying brightness levels. When any beam is blocked, the system can delay lift movement, reducing collision risk and preventing dropped goods. This improves cycle reliability and supports safe transitions between storage and retrieval phases in high-density warehouse environments where timing is critical.
