1101038

Overview

The SICK 1101038 is a safety light curtain system component designed for personnel protection in industrial environments. It functions as a receiver unit that works in conjunction with a transmitter to create a protective field. The device detects interruptions in the light beam caused by objects or persons entering the hazardous area, triggering a safe stop signal to connected machinery. Key specifications include a resolution of 40 mm and a maximum detection range dependent on the paired transmitter model. It features a robust housing suitable for harsh industrial conditions and supports standard safety interfaces for integration into safety PLCs or relay systems.

Feature Summary

• Provides reliable personnel protection through precise light beam interruption detection
• Designed for robust operation in demanding industrial manufacturing settings
• Integrates seamlessly with compatible SICK safety controllers and transmitters

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify compatibility with existing SICK safety controllers and transmitter models before procurement. Ensure the required resolution and detection height match the specific hazard analysis requirements. Confirm voltage supply specifications and interface types align with the control system architecture. Request official datasheets to validate technical parameters against current project standards.

Selection Notes

Select this receiver based on the required resolution (e.g., 40 mm) and the distance to the hazard zone. Match the number of sensing fields with the transmitter unit to ensure proper coverage. Consider environmental factors such as ambient light interference and mechanical mounting constraints when choosing the specific housing variant.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SICK safety light curtain family, which includes various transmitter and receiver combinations. These systems are engineered to meet international safety standards for machine guarding. The 1101038 specifically serves as the receiving end of the optical barrier, completing the circuit necessary for safety monitoring.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must maintain identical resolution, detection range, and interface protocols. Verify that any substitute part is officially listed by SICK as a compatible alternative. Ensure mechanical dimensions allow for direct retrofitting without modifying mounting brackets.
