SICK L41E-33MA2A Sensor
SICK L41E-33MA2A safety single-beam sensor, part 6034862. Simple optical guarding for access points and rear wall monitoring.
Overview
The SICK L41E-33MA2A (part number 6034862) is a safety single-beam sensor of the L41 series. It monitors a single optical beam between sender and receiver for safety tasks such as access point detection, rear wall guarding and simple protective field monitoring.
How It Works
The sender directs an infrared beam to the receiver. Interruption of the beam by a person or object causes the safety-relevant output to switch off. The single-beam principle provides a simple, economical solution for defined access monitoring points.

Installation and Setup Notes
Mount sender and receiver aligned with a stable mechanical base and connect the safety outputs to the safety circuit according to the required performance level. Verify that the beam path cannot be bypassed in the machine layout, and test the safety function during commissioning.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is a single beam sufficient?
When the risk assessment only requires detection at a defined height or opening, for example rear-wall guarding.
Does it need a separate sender?
Yes, the L41 system works as a sender-receiver pair across the monitored opening.
Can several beams be combined?
Yes, multiple L41 pairs can cover different heights of an access point.
