SICK Series Compact Safety Light Curtain Receiver and Sender 180 mm Protective Height 5 m Scanning Distance 14 mm C4MT

SICK C4MT Series Compact Safety Light Curtain Receiver and Sender is a precision safety sensor with 14 mm beam resolution, designed for safeguarding industrial machinery. It has a protective height of 180 mm and supports a maximum scanning distance of up to 5 meters, making it ideal for short-range access point protection.

This light curtain device operates as a Type 4 receiver with a rapid response time of ≤14 ms, enabling fast interruption detection and rapid machine stop functionality. It is powered by a 24 V DC supply, compatible with standard industrial control systems, and features optical synchronisation, which allows cascading multiple units without the need for additional wiring.

The compact design with a length of 32 mm and width of 15 mm facilitates installation in tight spaces, and the device includes a 5-pin M12 terminal type with a 160 mm cable pigtail for easy connection. It meets rigorous safety standards including ACMA, CE, cUL, IEC, and others, ensuring compliant operation in industrial environments.

The device is constructed to IP65 standards, capable of operating in ambient temperatures ranging from -20°C to +55°C, and can withstand vibration and shock per relevant industrial standards. It provides dual PNP semiconductor OSSDs outputs with short-circuit protection and cross-circuit monitoring for enhanced safety integration.

Applications include safeguarding access to automated press lines, perimeter protection for robotic cells, and monitoring guard openings on assembly lines. The system is supplied as twin sticks with brackets, system plugs, and test rods for complete installation.

The device offers a 14 mm beam resolution for precise detection. Response time is ≤14 ms, supporting rapid machine stops. Powered by a 24 V DC supply for compatibility with industrial controls. Optical synchronisation permits cascading without extra wiring.

Type 4 safety classification ensures high-level safety performance. Operational temperature range is -20°C to +55°C with IP65 protection. Dual PNP semiconductor OSSDs with short circuit and cross circuit monitoring. Compact size: 32 mm length and 15 mm width.

Reliable connection via 5-pin M12 connector and 160 mm cable pigtail. Suitable for use in press lines, robotic cells, and assembly machinery guarding.
