SICK deTec2 Core Series Light Curtain Sender, 30 mm Resolution

This light curtain is a safety sensor designed to detect intrusions into hazardous areas within automated and industrial systems. It operates as a sender unit suitable for installations requiring monitored protective fields, providing a non-contact method to interrupt machinery operation where access prevention is needed. The device conforms to recognised CE standards and integrates with standard industrial cabling for straightforward connection.

• 30mm beam resolution enables reliable object detection • 10 MS maximum response time supports fast safety reaction • 15 m maximum scanning distance allows long-range coverage • 24V DC supply voltage simplifies plant power integration • 5‑pin M12 Terminal ensures robust industrial connectivity • Type 2 safety classification meets mid-level protective requirements

• Suitable for safeguarding transfer conveyors in manufacturing lines • Ideal for perimeter protection around robotic workcells • Used for access detection on packaging machinery • Can be used for entry monitoring on assembly stations • Used with safety controllers to create monitored stop zones

It can protect across a maximum width of 15 m, enabling coverage of wide openings or multiple machine infeed lanes.

The minimum scanning distance is 0 m, permitting detection immediately adjacent to the unit for tight installation envelopes.

The protective height is 300mm, suitable for protecting shorter access points or finger-height hazards.

It employs a 5‑pin M12 Terminal for both power and signal connections, compatible with common industrial cabling and connectors.
