1117670

Overview

The SICK 1117670 is a safety light curtain system component, specifically the receiver unit for the C40E series. It functions as part of a two-component safety device designed to protect personnel from hazardous moving machinery parts. The unit detects infrared light beams emitted by the corresponding transmitter to establish a protective field. When an object interrupts the beam pattern, the receiver triggers a safety-related output signal to stop the machine or prevent its operation. This model is engineered for industrial environments requiring reliable presence detection and compliance with safety standards.

Feature Summary

• Provides reliable detection of objects within a defined protective field using modulated infrared technology
• Integrates seamlessly with compatible C40E transmitters to form a complete safety light curtain system
• Features robust housing construction suitable for demanding industrial manufacturing environments

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order corresponds to the C40E receiver variant. Confirm compatibility with existing C40E transmitters in the installation. Ensure the protective field height and resolution match the machine safety requirements. Check for any necessary mounting accessories included in the scope of delivery.

Selection Notes

Select this receiver only when paired with a matching C40E transmitter. Consider the required protective field dimensions and resolution for the specific hazard analysis. Evaluate the environmental conditions such as ambient light interference or vibration levels. Ensure the control system interface matches the receiver's output specifications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK C40E safety light curtain family. It serves as the receiving element in a dual-channel safety circuit. The system is designed to meet international safety performance levels. It replaces older generation receivers when upgrading safety systems. The unit works in conjunction with dedicated power supplies and evaluation modules.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacement requires verifying mechanical mounting dimensions and electrical pinout compatibility with the existing C40E transmitter. Ensure the new unit supports the same safety integrity level. Cross-reference with official SICK substitution lists for legacy models.
