The Applications of the SICK iE10-R1 Actuator
1. Stable Safety Door Control in High-Speed Packaging Machinery
High-speed packaging systems require frequent access for material replacement, cleaning, and fault recovery. Safety doors in these machines are repeatedly opened and closed, which can gradually affect alignment. The SICK iE10-R1 actuator is effective in this environment because its rigid structure maintains accurate positioning, while the controlled actuation movement absorbs small mechanical shifts. This ensures the safety switch consistently recognizes a fully closed guard. As a result, machines avoid unnecessary stoppages caused by minor door movement, allowing packaging lines to maintain productivity while ensuring operator safety at all times.
2. Reliable Access Protection on CNC Machine Enclosures
CNC machine enclosures often use heavy metal doors that experience mechanical stress and gradual sagging over time. These conditions can lead to unreliable safety switch activation. The SICK iE10-R1 addresses this issue through a robust actuator body that preserves alignment and a semiflexible actuation path that compensates for small positional changes. This combination ensures dependable door status detection even after extensive usage. The actuator helps prevent unsafe access during machining operations and reduces maintenance adjustments, supporting continuous and safe production in precision manufacturing environments.
3. Consistent Safety Interlocking in Robotic Production Cells
Robotic workcells typically include perimeter guarding with hinged access doors used during setup and maintenance. Vibrations from robot movement and frequent door operation can challenge conventional actuators. The SICK iE10-R1 provides stable actuation under these conditions, maintaining reliable engagement with the safety switch. Its durable design supports long service life, while its tolerance for minor misalignment simplifies installation. This ensures safety interlocks remain effective, protects personnel during robot operation, and minimizes downtime caused by safety-related faults.
4. Frequent-Access Guard Monitoring in Food and Beverage Equipment
Food and beverage production equipment requires regular access for sanitation and inspection, placing repeated stress on safety doors. The SICK iE10-R1 supports consistent safety monitoring by maintaining accurate actuation despite frequent opening cycles. Its stable mechanical design helps prevent alignment issues after cleaning procedures, reducing the risk of unexpected machine stops. By ensuring guards are correctly detected before equipment restart, the actuator supports safe operation, smoother workflows, and reliable production in hygiene-focused processing environments.
