SICK and Festo Didactic have partnered to create a Safety Awareness Bundle that combines curriculum and hardware to teach robot safety. 

SICK has launched a product called Monitoring Box that enables access to sensor data for cloud-based condition monitoring.

SICK highlights solutions safe productivity, part localization in bin picking, and LiDAR localization

SICK said the camera is designed for high-end inspection and precise localization duties when mounted on a robot arm.

Vention’s manufacturing automation platform accelerates the design and deployment of modular applications for robot guidance systems with SICK.

Safety system monitors two protective fields simultaneously around a cobot, making it possible to dynamically reduce or stop the robot’s movement only when a person is too close to the working area.

SICK has released its DBS60I-W, an IP69K-rated incremental encoder with added ingress protection from a new, patented deflector shield. SICK said the encoder can withstand frequent high-pressure chemical washdowns in demanding food and beverage applications, for example. The SICK DBS60I-W washdown encoder delivers the high-resolution performance of SICK’s DBS60 incremental encoder but in a IP69K-rated,…

RBR50 company SICK, a leading developer of sensors, safety systems, machine vision and more, expanded its 2D LiDAR sensor lineup for localization and anti-collision applications with the compact TiM2xx product family. This is in response to new requirements on functionality, size, and price. The TiM240 is the first variant in the TiM2xx LiDAR series and…

SICK is launching its newest ultra-compact safety laser scanner, the nanoScan3. The nanoScan3 combines smart safety functions with measurement data quality for accurate and reliable localization. With an overall height of just over three inches, the nanoScan3 can be used wherever machines and vehicles require maximum performance, but have minimal mounting space. This enables manufacturers…

The Safe Robotics Area Protection system from SICK combines sensors and software to enable a robot to be more aware of its surroundings.

Having worked in industrial automation for most of my career, I’d like to think that I’ve built up a wealth of experience in the field of industrial safety sensors. Familiar with safety laser scanners for over a decade, I have been involved many designs and installations. I currently work for SICK (UK) Ltd., which invented…

SICK, Inc., a manufacturer of sensor solutions for industrial applications, has partnered with MassRobotics. With this partnership, local and global robotics startups and corporations will have better access to sensor and safety solutions from SICK. MassRobotics is a nonprofit organization located in Boston. MassRobotics is the strategic partner of the Robotics Summit & Expo, which…

Once reserved solely for humans, now using deep learning, sensors can perform intelligent actions in the automated detection, testing, and classification of objects or features. Deep learning, a sub-area of machine learning, ranks among the most significant of future technologies in the field of artificial intelligence, and is a long-term driver of Industry 4.0. SICK…

SICK is launching a new safety laser scanner called outdoorScan3. SICK claims the outdoorScan3 is the first safety laser scanner certified to IEC 62998 for use in outdoor applications. The outdoorScan3 allows automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to navigate safely through outdoor industrial environments. SICK says the outdoorScan3 works safely and reliably in all weather conditions.…

Engineers can learn about recent developments in mobile robot technology from speakers, exhibitors, and peers at this conference in Boston in June.
