In a metal fabrication plant, operators work closely with large brake presses where any unguarded motion can cause severe injury. The SICK C4000 Advanced is installed along the press front to create a light barrier that halts movement instantly if a hand enters the danger zone. Its 40 mm resolution ensures fine detection accuracy, while floating blanking allows parts to be positioned safely within the field. This configuration provides robust protection without interrupting the workflow, enhancing both safety and productivity in metal-forming environments.
Robotic work cells require a delicate balance between access flexibility and safety. The C4000 Advanced provides this by using PSDI mode and external device monitoring, ensuring the robot only activates when no object or person is in the monitored zone. During part changes or manual interventions, the curtain maintains a controlled stop condition. Its optical synchronization minimizes wiring complexity, while the durable aluminum housing endures vibration from moving robotic arms — making it a dependable safeguard for collaborative or automated operations.
In fast-moving packaging or palletizing systems, materials often pass through shared zones between humans and machines. The C40S-1004CA010 enables muting and blanking functions so pallets or boxes can move freely while still preventing human entry. Its 1,050 mm protective height and IP65 protection make it ideal for dusty or humid warehouse conditions. By allowing uninterrupted throughput with safety intact, it solves the challenge of combining efficiency with reliable personnel protection on high-speed logistics lines.
Machine tools and hydraulic presses with tight access areas require compact yet high-performance safety systems. The SICK C4000 Advanced mounts easily on small enclosures thanks to its 48 × 40 mm aluminum profile. Its fast response time and high vibration resistance ensure dependable operation even under heavy mechanical loads. By stopping motion the instant an object breaks the beam, it prevents operator injury and reduces costly downtime — a critical factor in continuous manufacturing and precision machining applications.
