Application description
The UE410 Safeguard Detector Box safety system is used on machines with material
transportation systems, such
as a carton magazine on a packaging machine, to prevent
the risk of people getting injured by the empty material transportation system in the
event of interrupting the machine. The system can also be used on other machines for
comparable detection tasks, provided that the corresponding application is suitable for
this.
The transportation opening to a packaging machine is monitored by at least two sen‐
sors. If there is carton in the magazine, an interruption is not possible because the
material acts like a physical guard. The same principle applies in other systems for
other objects acting as a physical guard (e.g.
transport containers).
Figure 1: Material in the detection zone: carton magazine sufficiently filled
If the magazine is not sufficiently filled or is empty, a person can interrupt the machine.
This represents a dangerous state. The task of the UE410 Safeguard Detector Box
safety system is to prevent this case by reacting in a safety-related manner and switch‐
ing off the system.

filled
Limits of the system
The figure below shows the limits of the UE410 Safeguard Detector Box safety system.
The system considered ends at the outputs of the SICK safety evaluation module. Fur‐
thermore, the user is solely responsible for the safe design of the entire system.
