Sick Uk has added a new fork lift
truck (FLT) detection capability to its
M4000 light curtain range to permit
pallet loading and unloading into
light guarded areas, such as infeed
and outfeed conveyor systems, while
protecting personnel.
The M4000 FLT multiple light beam entry and exit protection system is supplied with an easy to connect FLT ground loop detection system that can be configured to recognise forklifts and pallet trucks permitted to enter a protected area.
"The solution restricts human access but allows FLTs to pick up and drop off loads across a light-guarded perimeter without triggering machine shut-down," says Seb Strutt, senior product manager.
The M4000 FLT can be used in both indoor and outdoor applications.
