1079176

Overview

The SICK model 1079176 is a safety light curtain belonging to the M200 series. It features eight active light beams with a vertical resolution of 40 mm and a protective field height of 385 mm. The device provides a maximum scanning range of 1,600 mm and utilizes an M12 connector for interface connectivity. Designed for personnel protection, it incorporates beam coding and external device monitoring (EDM) capabilities to ensure operational safety in industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides personnel protection through coded light beams that prevent interference from ambient light or other sensors.
• Integrates external device monitoring (EDM) to verify the functional status of downstream safety relays.
• Features a compact housing design suitable for integration into machinery guarding systems.

Applications

• Personnel protection at press brakes and stamping machines
• Safety guarding for injection molding equipment
• Protection zones around automated assembly stations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes on the product label to confirm the exact cable length and connector type required for your installation. Ensure compatibility with the existing safety controller logic regarding EDM circuit requirements. Cross-reference the order number with the official SICK catalog to confirm current production status and regional availability before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model based on the required protective field height of 385 mm and the need for 40 mm finger detection resolution. Confirm that the 1,600 mm scanning range meets the machine's opening width. Verify that the M12 connector interface matches the available cabling infrastructure and that the control system supports the specific safety protocol used by the M200 series.

Part Context

This component is part of the SICK M200 safety light curtain family, designed for cost-effective personnel protection. The M200 series is widely used in general industrial automation for safeguarding hazardous areas where access must be restricted during machine operation. It serves as a primary safety barrier in conjunction with safety relays or PLCs.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official SICK replacement guide for direct equivalents. Verify that any substitute maintains the same protective field height, resolution, and scanning range specifications to ensure compliance with safety standards.
