Small and Flat Object Detection

- Generates a multiple-beam infrared pattern for extraordinary sensitivity to small objects

- Detects objects as small as 5.6 mm and extremely flat objects that pass anywhere through the light screen

- Responds in 0.8 to 3.2 milliseconds—faster than comparable products, even at its slowest response speed

- Enables automated systems to operate at peak efficiency

- Ideal for die-protection (part ejection verification), small part, parcel handling and sorting by height

- Available in 67, 143 or 295 mm lengths and two sensing ranges: 100 to 200 mm and 300 mm to 2 m

- Features rugged silver anodized housing with IP65 rating

- Uses integrated T-slot mounting channel for unique mounting flexibility

The C4-RD safety light curtain is the economic solution for hazardous point protection with the highest level of safety for finger and hand protection. With protective field heights from 150 mm and variants available in 50 mm increments, the C4-RD is ideally suited for use in applications with small access areas to the hazardous point. The thin, clever holder concepts and absence of blind zones enables seamless integration into machines. The rugged design of C4-RD also ensures high availability, and the standardized connectivity and status LEDs guarantee easy commissioning and diagnostics. With a comprehensive range of safety sensors, safe control solutions and a worldwide service network, SICK is the optimal partner for functional safety.
