1081908

Overview

The SICK 1081908 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor featuring a dual lens system and Reflex Array technology. It utilizes visible red light from a PinPoint LED source with a wavelength of 635 nm. The unit operates within a sensing range of 0 to 1.5 meters when paired with the P250F reflector. It features a rectangular housing design measuring 21.5 mm x 36 mm x 37.7 mm and weighs 38 grams. Adjustment is performed via a potentiometer, and it supports detection of transparent, perforated, and uneven objects.

Feature Summary

• Dual lens system with Reflex Array for minimum distance to reflector
• Position-independent detection of small objects within the light array
• Optimized for detecting transparent, perforated, and shiny surfaces

Applications

• Detection of transparent objects
• Detection of perforated objects
• Detection of uneven or shiny objects
• Detection of flat objects with position tolerances

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official SICK documentation to ensure compatibility with required accessories such as the P250F reflector. Confirm that the visible red light specification meets application requirements. Check for necessary mounting systems like the BEF-KHS-KH3 and appropriate connectors. Ensure environmental conditions align with the component's operational limits.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring reliable detection of challenging materials such as glass or perforated films. The dual lens system provides stability against background interference. Consider the 1.5-meter maximum range when designing the installation layout. Verify that the rectangular housing dimensions fit within the available space constraints of the machinery.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK photoelectric sensor family designed for industrial automation. It functions as a retro-reflective unit, relying on a separate reflector to complete the optical circuit. The device is engineered for precise object detection in manufacturing environments where standard sensors may fail due to material properties.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official SICK substitution guides for compatible upgrades. Verify interface and mounting compatibility before replacing existing units.
