Sick AR60, Alignment Guide, For Use With M4000 Series

The AR60 alignment guide is a precision laser‑based accessory tailored to streamline the installation and alignment of SICK’s M4000 series multiple light beam safety devices. With compact dimensions (19 × 67.3 × 66.9 mm) and a Class 2 laser module, it simplifies the adjustment of sender, receiver and mirror columns, significantly reducing commissioning time and improving beam detection reliability in industrial safety systems.

Core Capabilities of the Sick Alignment Guide for M4000 Series

• Enables accurate alignment of sender/receiver beams with laser‑aid visibility.
• Compact and rugged design suits harsh industrial environments.
• Optimises system commissioning for SICK M4000 light‑beam safety devices.
• Supports mirror column setups where multiple reflections complicate alignment.
• Reduces installation time and risk of alignment‑related faults.
• Compatible with third‑party alignment tools/adapters if required.
• Helps maintain optimal safety performance and beam detection across equipment life.

Streamlined Commissioning for Light‑Beam Protection Systems

When installing a M4000 system, precise beam alignment is critical to guarantee reliable detection of hazards and compliance with machine‑safety standards. The AR60 alignment guide integrates directly into the alignment process, delivering visible laser feedback that assists installers to align the sender, receiver and any deflector mirrors accurately. This not only accelerates setup but also improves repeatability in maintenance checks, translating to fewer misalignments, less downtime and stronger operational safety.

Broad Range Application

• Aligning sender and receiver units in M4000 Standard/Advanced safety‑light‑beam installations.
• Commissioning mirror‑column arrangements.
• Periodic maintenance checks of beam alignment.
• Retrofitting or upgrading existing M4000 light‑beam systems to maintain detection integrity.
• Training or quality‑control applications.
• Use alongside mounting accessories and adapters specified in M4000 installation guidelines.
