1098246

Overview

The SICK model 1098246 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor from the RAY10 series, designed for reliable object detection in industrial environments. It utilizes a PinPoint LED light source emitting visible red light at a wavelength of 635 nm. The device features a rectangular housing with dimensions of 21.5 mm x 36 mm x 37.7 mm. It operates with a Reflex Array dual lens system to ensure minimum distance capability to the reflector. The maximum sensing range extends up to 1.5 meters when used with the specified P250F reflector. Adjustment is performed via a potentiometer.

Feature Summary

• Equipped with a Reflex Array dual lens system for stable detection near the reflector
• Utilizes PinPoint LED technology for precise light spot projection
• Capable of detecting challenging objects including transparent, perforated, and uneven surfaces
• Features position-independent detection within the defined light array

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 ordering number 1098246 against current manufacturer documentation to confirm availability and technical specifications. Ensure compatibility with required accessories such as the P250F reflector for optimal performance. Cross-reference safety certifications and environmental ratings with site requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring robust detection of difficult materials like glass or mesh. The rectangular housing design facilitates mounting in confined spaces. Consider the 1.5-meter range limit when designing the installation layout. Verify that the visible red light output meets visibility requirements for maintenance personnel.
