5 Mounting
5.1 Mounting concepts
The device can be mounted in one of two ways:
•
Mounted in a fixed position overlooking the robot cell. We call this a stationary
sensor.
•
Mounted to the robot. We call this a robot mounted sensor.
5.2 Overview of mounting procedure
The mounting of the device is divided into the following steps:
•
Mount the device.
•
Connect the device to interfaces and supply voltage.
•
Adjust the device for the intended target area.
5.3 Preparation for mounting
5.3.1 Mounting requirements
NOTICE
Radio interference may occur when the device is used in residential areas!
Only use the device in industrial environments (EN 61000-6-4).
■
Typical space requirement: See "Product characteristics", page 12 for type-specific
field of view diagrams and dimensional drawings.
■
Comply with technical data, such as the permitted ambient conditions for opera‐
tion (e.g., temperature range, EM interference emissions, ground potential), see
"Technical data", page 72.
■
To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the device to rapid changes in tempera‐
ture
■
Protect from direct sunlight
■
Ensure that there is good heat transfer from the device, in particular at high
ambient temperatures (e.g., via the bracket to the mounting base or ensure that
the back of the device is a sufficient distance from the wall of a housing)
■
Only to be mounted using the threaded mounting holes provided for this purpose
or the sliding nuts.
■
Shock and vibration-free mounting
■
Clear view of the objects to be detected
Equipment required
■
Mounting device (bracket) with sufficient load-bearing capacity and suitable
dimensions
■
Two or four M5 screws for mounting on a mounting device supplied by the cus‐
tomer. Screw length is dependent on the mounting base (wall thickness of the
bracket)
When using an optional SICK bracket, the screws for mounting are included with
delivery.
■
Tool and tape measure
5.3.2 Mounting the device
The device is mounted using threaded mounting holes (M5) or sliding nuts.
The threaded mounting holes are located on the rear of the device.
