1044882

Overview

The SICK part number 1044882 identifies the MZT7-03VPS-KRD, a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor. This device features a PNP normally open output and utilizes a visible red light source with a wavelength of 640 nm. The detection range is specified as 0.03 m to 2.5 m when paired with the PL40A reflector. The unit has a maximum detection range of 3 m under optimal conditions. It employs a PinPoint LED technology with an average service life of 100,000 hours at +25 °C. The housing dimensions are 7.7 mm in width, 21.8 mm in height, and 13.5 mm in depth. The optical system uses a double-lens design.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes retro-reflective operating principle for object detection
• Features a compact square housing shape for the emitter
• Equipped with PinPoint LED technology for precise spot projection
• Includes a cable with M8 connector and knurled nut for secure mounting

Applications

• Automated assembly line monitoring
• Packaging machine object presence verification
• Logistics conveyor belt tracking
• Industrial safety gate interlocking

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering code 1044882 matches the required MZT7-03VPS-KRD configuration, including the PNP NO output type and the 0.3 m PUR cable length with M8 connector. Confirm compatibility with the intended reflector model, such as the PL40A, to ensure the stated detection range of 0.03 m to 2.5 m is achieved. Check environmental requirements against the IP65/IP67 protection rating and the 80 °C temperature limit. Ensure the wiring diagram aligns with the Cd-043 connection schematic provided in the technical documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact retro-reflective sensor with a short to medium detection range is required. The M8 connector option facilitates quick installation in space-constrained environments. Consider the PinPoint LED feature if high precision is needed for small targets. Compare against other MZT7 variants if different cable lengths, connector types, or output configurations like NPN are necessary. Evaluate the need for the specific PUR cable material if chemical resistance or flexibility is critical for the application environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MZT7 series of photoelectric sensors from SICK. The series offers various configurations differing by output type, cable length, and connector style. Part 1044882 specifically denotes the version with a PNP NO output and a 0.3 m PUR cable with an M8 plug. Other parts in the family include variants with NPN outputs, different cable materials like PVC, and longer cable runs up to 7.5 meters. The series shares common housing dimensions and optical specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same product line include other MZT7 variants with adjusted cable lengths or connector types, such as MZT7-03VPS-KU0 for a stripped cable version. Cross-series replacements may involve the GL2S series for similar retro-reflective applications but with different form factors. Verify electrical compatibility and mechanical fit before substituting.
