1068146

Overview

The SICK 1068146 is a Detec4 Core safety light curtain designed for machine protection. It features a 14mm finger resolution and a 600mm protective height, ensuring reliable detection of personnel hazards. The unit operates within a working range of 0 to 10.0 meters and supports a scan range up to 170mm. It utilizes a single beam configuration with IP65 ingress protection against dust and water. The device requires a 24VDC supply voltage and functions reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from -30°C to +55°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides certified machine safeguarding through precise finger-resolution detection capabilities.
• Ensures operational reliability in harsh industrial environments via robust IP65 housing construction.
• Facilitates flexible integration across varying distances using extended working range specifications.

Applications

• Machine guarding for press brakes and stamping equipment
• Protection zones around automated assembly stations
• Safety barriers for robotic cell perimeters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required cable length and connector type before purchase. Confirm that the selected model aligns with the intended protective height and resolution requirements for your specific machinery application. Ensure compatibility with existing safety controllers regarding signal output protocols.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 14mm resolution is sufficient for preventing finger access while requiring a 600mm vertical coverage area. Consider the 0-10m working range capability for applications requiring medium-distance protection. Evaluate the IP65 rating suitability against the specific environmental conditions of the installation site.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Detec4 Core series, representing SICK's modular safety light curtain platform. The series emphasizes standardized design principles to simplify system configuration and maintenance. It integrates into broader factory automation ecosystems by providing compliant safety monitoring solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official SICK documentation for direct cross-reference part numbers. Verify that any substitute maintains identical resolution, protective height, and interface specifications to ensure continued regulatory compliance.
