1068236

Overview

The SICK model 1068236 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor designed for precise object detection in industrial automation environments. It utilizes a visible red light source with a PinPoint LED technology to ensure reliable performance across various surface types. The device features a rectangular housing and supports potentiometer-based adjustment for sensitivity configuration. Key operational parameters include a maximum sensing range of up to 1.5 meters when used with the specified reflector, and a detection height of 25 mm. The unit weighs approximately 38 grams and operates within standard ambient conditions suitable for factory floor applications.

Feature Summary

• Equipped with a dual lens system and Reflex Array technology to minimize blind spots near the reflector.
• Capable of detecting transparent, perforated, uneven, shiny, and flat objects with position-independent accuracy.
• Features a compact rectangular housing design optimized for space-constrained installations.

Applications

• Detection of transparent objects on production lines
• Identification of perforated materials or packaging
• Monitoring of uneven or highly reflective surfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering number against official SICK documentation to confirm compatibility with required accessories such as reflectors and cables.
