1081963

Overview

The SICK 1081963 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor featuring a Reflex Array dual lens system. It utilizes visible red PinPoint LED light at 635 nm wavelength to detect objects with a minimum size of 5 mm, independent of position within the 25 mm detection height. The sensing range extends up to 1.5 meters when paired with the P250F reflector. Designed for rectangular housing measuring 21.5 x 36 x 37.7 mm, it includes potentiometer adjustment and supports applications involving transparent, perforated, or uneven shiny objects.

Feature Summary

• Employs a Reflex Array dual lens system to establish a defined minimum distance to the reflector, ensuring stable operation.
• Features a PinPoint LED light source that creates a focused light spot for precise detection of small targets.
• Capable of detecting position-independent objects as small as 5 mm within the vertical detection area.

Applications

• Detection of transparent objects
• Detection of perforated objects
• Detection of uneven or shiny objects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official manufacturer documentation to confirm compatibility with required accessories such as the P250F reflector. Ensure the operating environment aligns with the sensor's technical specifications regarding object types and distances. Cross-reference the ordering number with current product catalogs to validate availability and correct configuration before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when application requirements involve detecting challenging surfaces like transparency or high reflectivity. The dual lens technology provides superior stability compared to standard retro-reflective sensors. Consider the 1.5-meter maximum range and 5 mm minimum object size constraints during system design to ensure reliable performance in automated inspection tasks.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK photoelectric sensor family, specifically designed for industrial automation environments. It functions as a retro-reflective unit requiring an external reflector to complete the optical circuit. The device is engineered for robustness in manufacturing settings where consistent object detection is critical.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official SICK documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other sensor families without validating electrical and mechanical parameters through official sources.
