SICK CDB730-001 Junction Box for TiM3xx LiDAR Sensors

The Applications

1. Warehouse Aisle Empty-Bay Detection

In large storage facilities, the TiM3xx sensor paired with the SICK CDB730-001 junction box can be mounted at the end of warehouse aisles to detect whether bays are empty or filled. With its broad scanning angle and configurable detection fields, a single sensor can oversee multiple rack levels. This reduces the number of sensors required and simplifies cabling. The CDB730-001 ensures stable data transfer, allowing the system to update inventory visibility instantly and avoid storage errors or accidental collisions during retrieval operations.

2. Collision Avoidance for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)

In logistics centers or factories, Automated Guided Vehicles use the TiM3xx sensor through the CDB730-001 module for obstacle detection. The compact junction box simplifies installation while maintaining a solid connection between the sensor and vehicle control system. As the AGV navigates tight paths, the sensor detects objects in real-time and communicates through the CDB730-001, triggering slow-down or stop commands. This setup minimizes accidents, protects products and equipment, and ensures smoother, uninterrupted operation in automated environments.

3. Forklift Safety in Narrow Aisles

Forklifts operating in narrow warehouse lanes benefit from the combination of the TiM3xx sensor and CDB730-001 junction box. The system continuously monitors the rear and side areas to detect any obstacles, pallets, or other vehicles. With LED feedback and stable wiring provided by the junction box, operators receive immediate visual cues about their surroundings. This improves safety, reduces the risk of damage, and helps maintain efficient movement of goods even in confined spaces where manual visibility is limited.

4. Protrusion Monitoring on Overhead Conveyors

In manufacturing lines with suspended or overhead conveyors, the TiM3xx sensor connected via the CDB730-001 identifies any item extending beyond safe clearance limits. This ensures no object interferes with nearby machinery or personnel pathways. The reliable data transmission through the junction box enables fast response when protrusions occur, automatically stopping the conveyor if needed. This setup enhances workplace safety, minimizes production interruptions, and maintains smooth material handling across dynamic industrial environments.
