1047097

Overview

The SICK part number 1047097 corresponds to the M20S-081A2A122 safety light curtain. This device features a beam count of 22 and an optical axis separation of 16 mm, providing a detection zone resolution suitable for safeguarding personnel against hazardous machine movements. The scanning range extends up to 116 mm in height. It utilizes a single-beam configuration with beam coding technology to ensure signal integrity and resistance to interference. The unit supports external device monitoring (EDM) for enhanced safety circuit verification. Connection is established via an M12, 8-pin male connector, facilitating integration into industrial control systems.

Feature Summary

• Beam-coded safety light curtain designed for personnel protection
• Supports External Device Monitoring (EDM) for safety circuit integrity
• Compact housing with integrated M12 connector interface

Applications

• Machine guarding on automated assembly lines
• Protection zones around robotic work cells
• Safety barriers for press machines and stamping equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering number 1047097 matches the specific model M20S-081A2A122 required for your application. Confirm compatibility with existing safety controllers regarding EDM requirements and M12 connector pinouts. Ensure the selected variant meets the necessary performance level and category standards for the intended machinery risk assessment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 16 mm resolution is sufficient for personnel protection rather than finger detection. The 22-beam configuration offers a compact vertical profile ideal for applications with limited mounting space. Consider the M12 connector type for ease of wiring compared to cable variants. Verify that the 116 mm scanning range covers the specific hazard point requiring safeguarding.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nanoScan3 or similar compact safety light curtain series from SICK, engineered for industrial automation environments. These devices are designed to replace traditional physical guards while maintaining high safety integrity levels. The product line emphasizes modularity and ease of commissioning within complex factory setups.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers: M20E-081A2A122 (Ordering No. 1018197). Note that the 'E' suffix typically denotes a different connector or housing variation; verify mechanical fit and electrical interface compatibility before substitution.
