1055008

Overview

The SICK model 1055008 is a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor from the LE 20 series, designed for precise object detection in industrial automation environments. It operates using visible red light with a PinPoint LED emitter and features a rectangular housing measuring 7.7 mm x 21.8 mm x 13.5 mm. The device utilizes a double lens system to achieve a maximum detection range of up to 3 meters when paired with the specified PL40A reflector. It includes an integrated optical reflector (PL10F) and offers a switching output suitable for standard control interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes retro-reflective operating principle with a double lens system for enhanced signal stability
• Features a compact square housing design optimized for space-constrained installations
• Equipped with a PinPoint LED light source providing a focused detection spot
• Includes an integrated reflective sheet for simplified setup and alignment

Applications

• Automated material handling systems requiring reliable object presence detection
• Packaging machinery utilizing retro-reflective sensing technology
• Industrial automation processes demanding high availability and process transparency
• Safety-critical applications involving hazard point protection and leak monitoring

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering designation matches the required configuration, as suffixes may indicate variations in cable length or connector type. Confirm compatibility with the intended reflector model, typically the PL40A for extended ranges, to ensure optimal performance. Check for any specific environmental ratings or mounting requirements relevant to the installation site. Ensure that the power supply voltage aligns with the sensor's electrical specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact form factor is required alongside a moderate detection range. The visible red light aids in visual alignment during installation. Consider the integrated reflector feature if minimizing external components is preferred. Evaluate the need for background suppression versus standard retro-reflective operation based on the target object's reflectivity and distance.
