The SICK deTec C4C-SA03030A10000 safety light curtain is engineered to safeguard industrial machinery where reliable hand detection and compact protective fields are essential. As part of the deTec4 Core family, it delivers a 30 mm resolution with a 300 mm protective height, making it suitable for guarding small openings and work zones. Its long 15 m scanning capability supports flexible machine layouts, while the unit’s no-blind-zone design ensures full coverage from top to bottom. The curtain provides certified high-level protection with SIL3, PL e, and Category 4 safety ratings, helping manufacturers reduce risk without compromising workflow efficiency.

Designed for everyday factory use, the C4C-SA03030A10000 combines durable construction with simplified installation through its 5-pin M12 system connector. Automatic calibration stabilizes the protective field, allowing the device to adapt to minor positional changes and maintain reliable detection over time. Its aluminum housing, dual IP65/IP67 protection, and resistance to vibration and shock make it ideal for harsh work areas. With dependable OSSD outputs and strong fault recognition, the system quickly identifies unsafe conditions to stop machinery, supporting safer interaction around automated equipment. The result is a protective device that strengthens operator safety while supporting continuous operation and reducing maintenance interruptions.

Why SICK deTec C4C-SA03030A10000?

The SICK deTec C4C-SA03030A10000 is chosen for applications that demand reliable, space-efficient safety protection without slowing down production. Its precise 30 mm resolution and 300 mm protective height provide confident hand detection in compact zones, while its rugged IP65/IP67 enclosure and long 15 m scanning distance make it adaptable to almost any machine layout. This model offers dependable performance with minimal configuration, making safety integration feel effortless.

What problem does it solve?

This model solves the challenge of safeguarding operators around automated machinery where moving parts pose injury risks. Instead of relying on mechanical guards that restrict workflow, the light curtain creates an invisible protective barrier that instantly halts hazardous motion when interrupted. It prevents unsafe access, reduces downtime caused by false trips, and maintains a smooth production rhythm—all while ensuring compliance with the highest safety categories.

The Applications

1. Automated Assembly Cell Protection

In many modern assembly stations, operators frequently reach into compact working areas to load parts or make quick adjustments. Mechanical guarding slows this process, forcing operators to open and close enclosures each time they need access. A safety light curtain solves this by creating an invisible barrier that reacts the moment a hand enters the hazardous zone. The 30 mm resolution is ideal for reliably detecting fingers or hands without limiting the operator’s movement. The compact 300 mm protective field suits small assembly fixtures, and the fast response helps stop machines before injury can occur. This ensures smooth, continuous workflows while maintaining a controlled safety environment.

2. Pick-and-Place Robot Loading Area Safety

Robotic pick-and-place operations often require workers to replenish components at the loading area while the robot performs repetitive motion nearby. Hard guards slow the pace and reduce flexibility, especially in systems that require frequent human intervention. A safety light curtain offers a clear working space while instantly stopping the robot if an operator’s hand moves too close. The stable detection performance helps prevent unnecessary stoppages, even when vibrations from conveyor systems are present. With its moderate field height, the curtain aligns well with tables or trays used for part loading. As soon as the field clears, the robot resumes automatically, allowing human and automated processes to coexist efficiently.

3. Packaging Line Infeed and Outfeed Guarding

Packaging equipment often has narrow openings where products enter or exit, and these are common points where workers might accidentally reach into moving components. A safety light curtain placed across the infeed or outfeed area creates a fast-reacting protection zone without obstructing visibility or access for cleaning routines. Its rugged design withstands dust, debris, and occasional splashes typical of packaging areas. The 30 mm resolution provides dependable hand detection, ensuring the machine stops if someone attempts to reach into dangerous moving parts. This approach protects operators while supporting the high throughput expected in packaging environments.

4. Metalworking Press and Bending Machine Monitoring

In metal fabrication, presses and bending machines expose operators to high-force movements during part positioning. A safety light curtain installed at the front access area ensures any unsafe hand entry immediately stops the machine cycle. Its robust aluminum housing and resistance to vibration help maintain accurate detection despite the harsh operating conditions. The coverage without blind spots provides consistent protection across the entire working width. This solution supports precision production tasks by giving operators unobstructed access during setup while ensuring fast intervention whenever an unsafe condition occurs.
