1116029

Overview

The SICK model 1116029 is a safety light curtain belonging to the M2000 Standard series. It features 81 optical axes with a beam pitch of 25 mm and a vertical resolution of 16 mm. The device provides protection operation capabilities, beam coding, and external device monitoring (EDM). It utilizes an M12, 8-pin male connector for connectivity. This configuration ensures reliable detection in industrial safety applications requiring precise object presence verification.

Feature Summary

• Provides protection operation functionality with integrated beam coding for enhanced reliability
• Supports external device monitoring (EDM) to verify the integrity of downstream safety circuits
• Utilizes a compact design with a 25 mm beam pitch for high-resolution detection zones

Applications

• Machine guarding for automated manufacturing equipment
• Protection of hazardous areas in industrial automation systems
• Safety barriers for press machines and injection molding units

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code matches the required connector type and function set. Confirm that the beam pitch and resolution align with the machine safety requirements. Ensure compatibility with the existing control system interface. Check for any necessary accessories such as mounting brackets or cables. Validate that the device meets the applicable regional safety standards for the installation site.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 25 mm beam pitch is required for detecting small objects or body parts. The inclusion of EDM is critical for systems requiring continuous monitoring of the safety output circuit. Consider the M12 connector interface if it matches the existing cabling infrastructure. Evaluate the 81-axis count against the necessary height of the protective field. Ensure the operating environment does not exceed the specified ambient conditions for the sensor.

Part Context

This component is part of the SICK M2000 Standard safety light curtain family. The series offers various configurations differing in axis count, beam pitch, and connector types. Model 1116029 specifically combines eight-one axes with a 25 mm pitch and M12 connectivity. It serves as a standard solution for general machine safety applications where reliable presence detection is mandated by machinery directives.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the M2000 Standard series include models with identical axis counts and beam pitches but different connectors, such as those using M26 Hirschmann interfaces. Verify that any replacement maintains the same safety performance level and functional features like EDM support.
