1047460

Overview

The SICK model 1047460 is a safety light curtain from the M2000 Standard series, designed for personnel protection in industrial environments. It features 81 beams with a vertical resolution of 16 mm and a maximum scanning range of 25 meters. The device supports protective operation, beam coding, and external device monitoring (EDM) functions to ensure high safety integrity. It utilizes an M12, 8-pin male connector for electrical interfacing. The unit is available in both sender (M20S-081A2A122) and receiver (M20E-081A2A122) configurations.

Feature Summary

• Provides personnel protection through precise beam coding and multi-beam detection technology.
• Supports external device monitoring (EDM) for comprehensive safety circuit verification.
• Features robust optical design ensuring reliable performance across extended scanning ranges.

Applications

• Personnel safeguarding at press brakes and stamping machines
• Protection zones around automated assembly stations
• Safety barriers for robotic cell perimeters

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order number matches the required configuration, as the base model number corresponds to distinct sender and receiver units. Confirm interface compatibility with existing control systems, specifically the M12 8-pin connector type. Ensure the selected variant meets the necessary safety category and performance level requirements for the intended application zone.

Selection Notes

Select this model based on the requirement for 16 mm finger protection resolution and up to 25 m reach. Consider the M20E variant for the receiver side and M20S for the transmitter side. Evaluate if EDM functionality is required for the specific safety logic of the machinery. Verify mounting constraints against the physical dimensions of the M2000 housing.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK M2000 Standard safety light curtain family, which offers modular solutions for machine guarding. The series is characterized by its compact housing design and flexible connectivity options, allowing integration into various industrial automation setups while maintaining strict compliance with international safety standards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacement requires matching the 81-beam count and 16 mm resolution. Verify that the new unit supports the same M12 8-pin connector and includes EDM capabilities if the original system relies on them. Ensure the scanning range of 25 m is sufficient for the installation gap.
