1070292

Overview

The SICK model 1070292 is a variant of the MZT7 series photoelectric sensor, specifically designated as MZT7-03VPS-KRD. This device operates on a PNP normally open (NO) switching output principle and features a detection range of 10 mm. It is equipped with a 0.3-meter PUR cable fitted with an M8, 3-pin connector that includes a knurled nut for secure mounting. The unit offers IP65 and IP67 ingress protection ratings and supports operating temperatures up to 80 °C.

Feature Summary

• Compact miniature housing design suitable for tight installation spaces
• Reliable object detection across various material types including cardboard and plastic
• Integrated illumination system for consistent sensing performance

Applications

• Safe material feed systems in automated machinery
• Detection tasks within confined mechanical structures
• Retrofitting existing equipment with safety controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix KRD against official SICK documentation to confirm the 0.3m PUR cable length and M8 connector configuration. Ensure the PNP NO output type matches the control system requirements. Cross-reference ordering number 1070292 with current datasheets to validate environmental ratings and voltage specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a short 10 mm detection range is required for precise positioning or presence detection. The M8 connector facilitates easy integration into standard industrial control cabinets. Consider the IP67 rating for applications involving occasional washdowns or dusty environments where robust sealing is necessary.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MZT7 family of photoelectric sensors designed for high availability in compact footprints. The series emphasizes TÜV-certified safety capabilities, allowing for simplified machine guarding without elaborate mechanical protection systems. It supports fast format changeovers and integrates easily into safety-related control architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official SICK substitution guides for direct replacements. Verify compatibility of connector types and electrical outputs before swapping.
