1060830

Overview

The SICK 1060830 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor designed for industrial automation. It features a rectangular housing and utilizes visible red light from a PinPoint LED source with a wavelength of 635 nm. The device supports a sensing range up to 1.5 meters when used with the specified reflector P250F. It includes a Reflex Array dual lens system to ensure minimum distance to the reflector, enabling reliable detection of transparent, perforated, or shiny objects. Adjustment is performed via a potentiometer.

Feature Summary

• Reflex Array dual lens system ensures stable detection by maintaining a minimum distance to the reflector
• Capable of detecting challenging targets including transparent, perforated, uneven, and shiny objects
• Position-independent detection within the light array for small object sizes
• Integrated web server functionality for remote diagnostics and monitoring without additional software

Applications

• Detection of transparent objects in packaging machinery
• Monitoring of perforated materials on conveyor systems
• Identification of uneven or shiny surfaces in assembly lines
• Position tolerance detection in automated handling processes

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required configuration, as variants may differ in cable length or connector type. Confirm compatibility with the intended reflector model, typically the P250F, to achieve the specified maximum sensing range. Ensure the operating voltage and switching output align with the control system requirements before finalizing the procurement order.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring high reliability on difficult-to-detect surfaces such as glass or polished metals. The Reflex Array technology is critical when standard retro-reflective sensors fail due to signal loss on reflective backgrounds. Consider the environmental rating and housing dimensions to ensure fitment within existing machine frames. Evaluate the need for position-independent detection if object placement varies significantly.

Part Context

This component belongs to SICK's portfolio of photoelectric sensors, specifically the retro-reflective category. It is engineered for robust industrial environments where precise object detection is required. The design integrates advanced optical principles to overcome common challenges associated with transparent or highly reflective materials, providing a stable solution for complex automation tasks.
