Sick UK to launch new equipment at Total 2013
Sick UK is to launch its new RapCo system at Total 2013 offering an automated solution to protect product quality and boost productivity.
The RapCo system is the latest innovation from Sick’s range of sensors and sensing systems for factory automation, safety, quality control and track and trace applications.
RapCo promises to speed up product changes by adjusting mechanical stops automatically through an integrated package of sensors, drives, a controller, display and cabling. All RapCo’s settings can be configured via a display without any plc programming knowledge. The result is a system with batch-specific settings that achieves speed and repeatability while reducing rejects.
Sick will also demonstrate its new deTec4 next-generation safety light curtain. With its space saving, IP67 design, the deTec4 has no blind zones, offering optimum positioning and protection against unsafe access.
The Sick deTec4 Core offers protective field heights in increments from 300mm to 2100mm and a choice of finger (14mm) or hand (30mm) resolution providing protection against operator intervention in accordance with EN ISO 13855 up to 10 Metres.
Sick UK’s RapCo and deTec4 will be displayed on stand D12, at the Total exhibition from the 4– 6 June 2013, at the NEC Birmingham.
