Light curtains are safety equipment that can be used to protect people from hazardous machine operations. The MSF4800A-40-1800 is a light curtain manufactured by Murata Machinery Co., Ltd., specifically designed for machine safety applications. This article will discuss the application fields and working principle of the MSF4800A-40-1800.

Application

The MSF4800A-40-1800 is a light curtain that is used in a variety of machine safety applications, including woodworking machines, automated assembly systems, presses, and robots. This light curtain can be used to protect operators from dangerous machinery, as well as to prevent accidents caused by human errors. The light curtains are ideal for installations that require point-of-operation protection, as well as safety fence protection. Additionally, the light curtains are also suitable for more specialized applications such as roll-back protection and access control.

The light curtains have a wide range of safety features including integrated self-checking and diagnostics. They are equipped with an LED indicator that illuminates when the light curtain detects a malfunction. The light curtains can also be integrated with an external control system to provide additional safety features, such as warning buzzers and strobes. The light curtains can also be interfaced with a safety controller system, such as the Murata Machinery MCEL-S2S Series, for maximum system flexibility and safety.

Working Principle

The MSF4800A-40-1800 is a fiber-optic light curtain that utilizes a visible-infrared (VIS-IR) reflection technique. The light curtains use an emitter and receiver unit that are mounted on opposite sides of a guarded area. The emitter unit emits a visible-infrared light beam, which is then reflected back to the receiver unit by an object that passes through the beam. The receiver unit is equipped with an amplifier module that detects and amplifies the reflected light signal. If the reflected light is too low due to a partial obstruction, the receiver will detect this and will activate the light curtain.

The MSF series of light curtains are designed to meet the highest safety standards. They are UL/CSA and CE compliant, and they also meet the latest European safety regulations. Additionally, the light curtains are built to withstand harsh industrial environments, with an IP66 enclosure rating for water and dust protection.

Conclusion

The MSF4800A-40-1800 is an industrial-grade light curtain that is suitable for a variety of machine safety applications. It uses a visible-infrared reflection technique to detect partial obstructions and is certified to meet the highest safety standards. It is equipped with integrated self-checking and diagnostics, and is built to withstand harsh industrial environments. This makes the MSF4800A-40-1800 an ideal solution for machine safety applications.
