1077043

Overview

The SICK part number 1077043 corresponds to the MZT7-03VPS-KU0 photoelectric sensor. This block-style device utilizes a polarized red light source for through-beam detection. It features a PNP output type and connects via a 4-pin connector interface. The unit is rated IP67 for protection against dust and water ingress. Electrical specifications include a maximum DC voltage of 30V and a maximum current of 100mA. Operating temperatures range from -30°C to 60°C.

Feature Summary

• Polarized retroreflective technology ensures reliable object detection by filtering out interference from shiny or reflective surfaces.
• Compact block design facilitates installation in confined spaces within automated machinery.
• Robust IP67 rating allows operation in harsh industrial environments with exposure to dust and moisture.

Applications

• Automated packaging lines requiring precise object presence verification
• Conveyor belt monitoring systems for item counting and positioning
• Industrial assembly stations for component detection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required cable length and connector type, as variations exist within the MZT7 series. Confirm that the polarized function aligns with your application's surface conditions. Ensure the PNP output logic is compatible with your PLC input modules before finalizing the purchase order.

Selection Notes

Select this model when standard sensors fail due to highly reflective targets. The polarized filter is critical for distinguishing objects from background glare. Compare against non-polarized variants if surface reflectivity is not a concern. Verify the 4-pin connector requirement against existing wiring harnesses to avoid adapter usage.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK G10/MZT7 family of photoelectric sensors. These devices are engineered for general industrial automation tasks. The series emphasizes durability and ease of integration into standard control architectures. It serves as a fundamental sensing element for binary state detection in manufacturing processes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other SICK models within the same G10 series offering identical polarized through-beam functionality. Cross-brand replacements require matching the IP67 rating, PNP output type, and operating voltage range. Verify mechanical dimensions to ensure fitment in existing mounting brackets.
