1046038

Overview

The SICK part number 1046038 corresponds to the M20S-081A2A122 safety light curtain. This device features 8 beams with a resolution of 25 mm and a protective field height of 810 mm. The scanning range extends up to 16 meters. It utilizes an M12, 8-pin male connector for connectivity. Key functional modes include protective operation, beam coding, and external device monitoring (EDM).

Feature Summary

• Beam coding technology ensures reliable detection and prevents interference from ambient light or other sources.
• External Device Monitoring (EDM) capability allows for verification of connected safety relay states.
• Protective operation mode provides standard safeguarding for hazardous machine areas.

Applications

• Machine guarding for industrial automation equipment
• Protection zones around robotic work cells
• Safety barriers for press brakes and stamping machines

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes on the ordering label to confirm connector type and feature set. Ensure the selected variant matches the required protective field height and resolution for the intended safety application. Cross-reference the order number with official SICK documentation to confirm compatibility with existing control systems.

Selection Notes

Select this model based on the required 25 mm resolution and 810 mm height. Confirm that the 16-meter scanning range meets the distance requirements of the installation site. Verify that the M12 connector interface is compatible with the available cabling infrastructure.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK M2000 Standard series of safety light curtains. The series offers various configurations in terms of beam count, resolution, and connection types to suit different machine safety requirements. It is designed for robust industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 8-beam, 25 mm resolution specification. Variants such as M20E-081A2A122 share identical technical parameters but differ in housing design. Ensure any substitute maintains the same EDM and beam coding capabilities.
