E4809-045-167-E

The Okuma E4809-045-167-E control and interface module, part of the E4809 CNC Boards series, delivers robust connectivity and signal management for advanced CNC systems. Designed by Okuma for demanding industrial automation environments, this proximity sensor cable ensures reliable data exchange under rigorous operating conditions. The module supports precise coordination between the central CNC controller and peripheral devices, enabling high-speed communication for contouring, drilling, and multi-axis milling processes. Its durable construction and industry-grade materials provide long-term stability, minimizing downtime and ensuring consistent production output. With integrated ingress protection and standardized connectors, the E4809-045-167-E simplifies installation and enhances machine resilience.

Detailed technical excellence is reflected in every aspect of the E4809-045-167-E module. The cable features a cable length of 5 meters and a black PVC sheath, offering both flexibility and mechanical robustness. Connection is facilitated via an M8 Male connector at one end and an M8 Female connector at the other, utilizing 3 poles to ensure secure, multi-signal transmission. The module is rated for 30V operation and can handle a rated current of 4A, while its 0.34 mm² wire gauge maintains signal integrity over extended runs. Despite its lack of internal shielding, the cable’s rugged PVC jacket and secure connectors provide reliable performance across a wide operating temperature range from -25°C to +80°C.

Operational performance is optimized through careful design considerations. The degree of protection IP67 rating guarantees resistance to dust ingress and temporary water immersion, enabling use in environments exposed to coolant spray, oil mist, or washdown procedures. The cable’s lightweight construction minimizes mechanical load on moving machine parts, reducing wear on cable carriers and prolonging service life. With no internal shielding, the design relies on proper grounding and connector sealing to maintain electromagnetic compatibility in electrically noisy factory settings. Field installation and maintenance benefit from standardized connectors and PVC flexibility, allowing rapid deployment in retrofit or green-field applications.

System integration is simplified through compatibility with Okuma’s suite of CNC controllers and peripheral modules. The E4809-045-167-E seamlessly bridges the CNC processor to proximity sensors, limit switches, and other field devices, ensuring timely execution of critical control operations. Its high ingress protection and robust construction make it ideally suited for applications in machining centers, lathes, milling machines, and automated assembly lines. By adhering to industry standards and leveraging proven Okuma engineering, this module supports efficient, high-uptime manufacturing environments where reliability and precision are paramount.
