1043022

Overview

The SICK 1043022 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor from the RAY10 series, designed for precise object detection in industrial automation environments. It utilizes a visible red PinPoint LED light source with a wavelength of 635 nm to ensure reliable performance. The device features a rectangular housing and employs a dual lens system with Reflex Array technology to minimize the distance required to the reflector. This configuration allows for position-independent detection of small objects within the light array.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Reflex Array technology with a dual lens system to reduce minimum distance to the reflector
• Capable of detecting transparent, perforated, uneven, shiny, and flat objects
• Features position-independent detection within the defined light array
• Equipped with a potentiometer for straightforward adjustment

Applications

• Detection of transparent objects
• Detection of perforated objects
• Detection of uneven or shiny objects
• Detection of objects with position tolerances
• Detection of flat objects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official SICK documentation to confirm compatibility with the intended reflector type, such as the P250F model referenced in technical specifications. Ensure that the operating environment aligns with the sensor's rated sensing range and that the power supply matches the electrical requirements. Cross-reference the ordering code with current manufacturer catalogs to avoid discrepancies due to product updates or regional variations.

Selection Notes

Select this sensor when applications require reliable detection of challenging materials like transparent or reflective surfaces. The Reflex Array feature makes it suitable for scenarios where space constraints limit the distance between the sensor and the reflector. Consider the visible red light emission if visual alignment assistance is beneficial during installation. Evaluate the need for position-independent detection to simplify mounting tolerances in dynamic production lines.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK RAY10 series of photoelectric sensors, which are engineered for versatile industrial use. The series emphasizes compact design and high reliability in automated systems. The 1043022 variant specifically addresses complex detection tasks through its advanced optical technology, distinguishing it from standard retro-reflective models by its ability to handle difficult object characteristics without compromising detection stability.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official SICK substitution guides for direct replacements. Verify interface compatibility and mounting dimensions before integrating alternative models.
