(PSI Technics, 10/2012)
Manufacturers in the metals, glass, paper and construction products industries are all too familiar with high-temperature environments in production facilities. These elevated temperatures can and will reduce the life span of valuable laser distance meters, optical data transmission as well as scanner systems used in logistics applications. These sensors can often fail in high-temperature environments.
PSI Technics now offers users of sensors manufactured by SICK AG a custom solution to dramatically reduce the risk of failures caused by high temperatures. PSI Technics and SICK AG cooperatively grant users who purchase and install a SICK sensor in combination with PSI Technics’ Thermo Protection Cooling Case (TPCC) an extended warranty of 36 months.
At environmental temperatures of 113°F (+45°C) the TPCC increases the sensor life span by up to 440%. In combination with the TPCC, laser distance meters can last on average approximately 3 times longer, which eliminates the need to replace failed distance meters due to high-temperature environments. The extended warranty applies to all SICK laser distance meters of the DME, DS, DT, DMT, DML and DL series.
Customers who use sensors from other manufacturers can benefit from the excellent cooling features of the TPCC as well. The TPCC is a versatile system that adapts to a wide range of environments and is equally beneficial for optical data transmission and optical scanner systems. The standard warranty period for SICK sensors that are used without the TPCC is 12 months. The extended warranty of 36 months is offered based on results from laboratory and field tests conducted by both manufacturers.
In a controlled study, the temperature of a DME5000 laser sensor diode was measured under laboratory conditions using the SOPAS software by SICK AG. The results proved that when protected by the TPCC, the temperature of the laser sensor diode at elevated temperatures of 161.6 °F (72°C) is kept at a constant temperature of 116.6°F (+47°C) – reducing temperatures at the diode by 50°F (25°C).
The TPCC operates on a thermoelectric basis and is maintenance-free. The housing of the industrial protection cooling case is easy to install and provides excellent insulation properties. The TPCC ensures the safe operation of sensors up to 167°F (+75°C) for extended periods of time. The TPCC ships with the required adapter that enables an easy integration of SICK sensors.

The ARATEC's FLP6000AOC software reduces mast oscillations – even of highly dynamic stacker cranes – to a minimum. The test setup shows that the ARATEC Positioning Solution System with enabled FLP6000AOC compensates for mast oscillations in near-real time, even when the oscillations are caused by external disturbances.
