1136653

Overview

The SICK 1136653 is a safety light curtain, specifically the C4000 series model. It functions as an optoelectronic protective device designed to detect intrusions into hazardous areas. The unit operates by emitting an infrared light field between a transmitter and receiver. When the beam is interrupted, it triggers a safety stop signal. This component is engineered for industrial environments requiring personnel protection around machinery.

Feature Summary

• Provides reliable intrusion detection through an invisible infrared light field
• Designed for integration with safety-related control systems
• Constructed for durability in demanding industrial settings

Applications

• Protection of press brakes and stamping machines
• Safeguarding automated assembly stations
• Monitoring access zones for robotic work cells

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific resolution and height requirements against the machine's risk assessment before ordering. Confirm compatibility with existing safety controllers and wiring harnesses. Ensure the selected model meets the required IP rating for the installation environment. Cross-reference the part number with official SICK documentation to confirm current production status and regional availability constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this model based on the necessary finger or hand protection resolution and the required vertical coverage height. Evaluate the operating distance needed for the specific hazard zone. Consider environmental factors such as ambient light interference and potential contamination levels when choosing the appropriate housing variant.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SICK C4000 series of safety light curtains. The series is known for robust construction and flexible configuration options. It serves as a critical component in machine safety architectures, replacing traditional physical guards in many applications while maintaining high safety integrity levels.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated series revisions that may offer improved diagnostics or connectivity. Verify if newer models provide enhanced mounting flexibility or higher protection ratings suitable for the specific application.
