The SICK OD1-B035H15U25 is a Type 4 (according to IEC 61496-1/2) compact, self-contained safety light curtain designed for point-of-operation safeguarding on machinery. It is part of SICK's OD1 Mini product family, known for its very small housing dimensions.
Compact Design: Features an extremely slim housing profile (height: 35mm / 1.38 in), making it ideal for applications with limited mounting space.
Integrated Control: This is a self-contained unit where both the transmitter and receiver contain the control electronics. It does not require a separate external safety controller or evaluation unit, simplifying installation and reducing components.
Short Range: Designed for short-range detection with a protective field height of 150mm and an operating range (distance between transmitter and receiver) of up to 2.5 meters.
High Resolution: Offers a fine object resolution of 14mm. This small beam spacing ensures the detection of even small body parts, such as fingers, providing a high level of safety for personnel.
Safety Performance: Conforms to ISO 13849-1 PL d (Performance Level d) and IEC 62061 SIL 2 (Safety Integrity Level 2) standards, making it suitable for safeguarding applications with high risks.
Fixed Blanking: Likely features Fixed Blanking (suppressed beams). This function allows specific beams within the protective field to be permanently muted or "blanked" to ignore the presence of a fixed part of the machine (e.g., a necessary pillar), while still protecting the hazardous area around it.
Simple Configuration: Equipped with an integrated DIP switch block for easy setup of operating modes and functions (like blanking) without the need for additional software or programming tools.
LED Status Indicators: Built-in LEDs on both the transmitter and receiver provide clear visual status indication for power, alignment, beam blockage, and faults, aiding in commissioning and diagnostics.
Robust Housing: Constructed with a metal housing, providing durability and resistance to impacts in harsh industrial environments.
Typical Applications:
Small robotic workcells
Packaging machinery
Small presses and punching machines
Electronic assembly equipment
Any machinery requiring finger/hand protection in a compact, confined space.
