The SICK deTec safety light curtain transmitter (Part Number 1211499) operates as the emitter component in a two-part optical safety system designed to detect personnel or objects entering hazardous machine zones.
This unit projects an infrared beam array at 850 nm wavelength, creating a 1050 mm tall protective field with 30 mm resolution, capable of functioning at distances up to 15 meters from its corresponding receiver.
The 30 mm resolution makes this configuration suitable for finger and hand detection applications in automated manufacturing cells, press brakes, palletizers, and material handling systems where personnel protection is required.
Rated to IP65 and IP67 standards, the transmitter withstands industrial environments including exposure to dust and temporary water ingress.
When selecting safety light curtains, resolution determines the minimum detectable object size, protective field height must cover the full access point to the hazard zone, and operating range must accommodate your machine layout and safety distance calculations per ANSI B11.19 or ISO 13855.
