SICK FAQs
- What does SICK manufacture?
SICK is a global leader in industrial sensors and safety solutions. Their portfolio includes safety light curtains and scanners, photoelectric and proximity sensors, distance sensors, encoders, and identification systems — used to improve automation performance, machine safety, and production reliability. - Where can I buy SICK sensors in the Southeast US?
Adams is an authorized SICK distributor across Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean. We provide SICK sensors and safety devices, application guidance for automation and safety projects, and support for retrofits, replacements, and new installations. - What industries does SICK serve?
Automotive (production-chain efficiency through digitalization and electrification), consumer goods (interconnected, hygienic production), material processing (harsh and clean industrial environments), and electronics (precision under accelerating production cycles). SICK sensors are deployed wherever accuracy, safety compliance, and uptime are non-negotiable. - What's the difference between safety light curtains and safety scanners?
Safety light curtains create an invisible vertical plane of detection across a machine opening — when broken, the equipment stops or slows. Safety scanners (often LIDAR-based) protect larger zones with continuous coverage, useful for forklift detection in shared aisles and reduced-speed zones around robots. SICK manufactures both, and Adams helps spec the right type per application. - Can Adams help select the right SICK sensor for my application?
Yes. Sensor selection depends on the operating environment, detection range and target type, safety category requirements (PLd, PLe, SIL), and integration with the existing PLC or safety relay. Adams' application engineers help match SICK's broad portfolio to your specific use case rather than picking from a catalog without context.
