1079518

Overview

The SICK 1079518 is a safety light curtain component belonging to the M20 series, designed for personnel protection in industrial environments. It operates with beam spacing of 40 mm and provides a detection resolution capable of identifying objects down to this size. The device features a scanning range extending up to 1600 mm, allowing for flexible installation across various machine openings. It supports protective functions including beam coding and external device monitoring (EDM) to ensure system integrity. Connectivity is established via an M12, 8-pin male connector, facilitating integration into standard safety control architectures.

Feature Summary

• Provides personnel protection through precise object detection with 40 mm beam spacing.
• Supports external device monitoring (EDM) to verify the functional status of downstream safety relays or controllers.
• Utilizes beam coding technology to prevent interference when multiple units are installed in close proximity.
• Features a robust housing design suitable for demanding industrial manufacturing settings.

Applications

• Personnel safeguarding at press brakes and stamping machines.
• Protection zones around robotic work cells and automated assembly lines.
• Safety monitoring on packaging machinery and material handling systems.
• Guard interlocking applications requiring high-resolution detection.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order code matches the required scanning height and beam spacing configuration for your application. Confirm compatibility with existing M12 cabling standards and controller inputs. Ensure that the selected unit includes necessary mounting hardware if not specified separately. Cross-reference the订货代号 against current manufacturer catalogs to validate availability and revision status before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model based on the required detection resolution of 40 mm for personnel safety. Evaluate the maximum scanning height needed, as the M20 series offers various lengths up to 1600 mm. Consider the interface type, specifically the M12 8-pin connector, to ensure alignment with existing wiring infrastructure. Determine if external device monitoring (EDM) support is required for the specific safety circuit architecture being implemented.

Part Context

This component is part of the SICK M20 series of safety light curtains, which are engineered for reliable personnel protection in automation. The series is characterized by its compact design and versatile connectivity options, including both M12 and Hirschmann interfaces depending on the specific variant. These devices are integral to modern machine safety strategies, offering high reliability and ease of integration into PLC-based safety loops.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 40 mm beam spacing and compatible M12 8-pin interface. Verify that any substitute unit supports EDM functionality if required by the safety logic. Check for identical scanning height ranges to ensure physical fitment within existing guard structures without modification.
