SICK C2MT Series Light Curtain Receiver and Sender Type 2 Safety Sensor 24 mm Beam Resolution 24V DC 13ms Response Time C2MT

SICK C2MT Series Light Curtain Receiver and Sender C2MT is a Type 2 safety sensor designed for efficient personnel and machinery protection. Operating at 24V DC, it delivers precise detection with its 24 mm beam resolution and achieves a fast maximum response time of 13 milliseconds. This compact light curtain is built to create a monitored optical detection field adaptable for standalone or cascaded systems and intended primarily for short-range safeguarding needs.

The light curtain features a protective height of 180 mm and a maximum scanning distance of 8 meters, making it suitable for applications that require precise object detection and protected access control on industrial machines. The 5-pin M12 terminal type with a 160 mm cable tail facilitates straightforward system wiring. Its robust aluminum alloy housing measures 15 mm in width and 32 mm in length with a lightweight mass of 75 grams, making installation in compact spaces practical.

Electrical outputs include PNP semiconductor OSSDs capable of short-circuit and cross-circuit monitoring with a maximum output of 300mA per channel. The device complies with various international safety standards and approvals including ACMA, CE, cUL, IEC among others. Operating conditions range from -20°C to +55°C with IP65 ingress protection, which ensures reliable performance under typical industrial environmental parameters.

This light curtain provides safety characteristics at PLc and SIL1 levels, with a Probability of Dangerous Failure per Hour (PFHD) of 2.4x10⁻⁸ and a mission time expectancy of 20 years. Its optical synchronization simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate wiring. Suitable uses include safeguarding access openings on machines, presence detection in short-range applications, and integration with safety relays requiring Output Signal Switching Device (OSSD) outputs.

For complete system functionality, two identical miniTwin-stick units are required per system. Additional accessories such as cascade cables to link multiple pairs and extender cables for increased distance are available separately. This makes the C2MT series versatile for varied industrial automation and safety applications.

This product is manufactured in Germany and is built to meet rigorous industrial safety and performance requirements. Operates on 24V DC power supply for direct machine integration. Type 2 safety classification meeting IEC requirements.
