Light curtains are used as safety devices in a wide variety of applications, including automated production lines, robotics, and other operations that involve metal forming, machining, and woodworking. The MS4800A-30-1640 Light Curtain is one such device, designed and manufactured by SICK in Switzerland. It is a versatile and reliable safety device that can provide effective safeguarding against hazardous conditions in any industrial setting.

Typical Applications

The MS4800A-30-1640 is ideal for a variety of applications, including machine safety, material handling, robotics, and automated production lines. It is typically used to protect workers in the area and to prevent jamming, crushing, and contact with hazardous materials encountered during industrial operations. It is also suited for containing fluids and keeping materials from entering dangerous working environments. It can also be used to separate areas in order to protect personnel from hazardous or potentially dangerous conditions, and to keep hazardous substances from escaping and entering unwanted areas.

Features and Benefits

The MS4800A-30-1640 Light Curtain is highly configurable and is designed for robust performance and long-term reliability. It features a 30-mm resolution with a maximum resolution of 1640mm, allowing for maximum protection in a wide range of industrial environments. The MS4800A-30-1640 also offers a large beam divergence of ± 20° for easy installation and setup. Other features include four freely programmable safety outputs, a fast response time of 30ms, a long-range detection range of up to 8.0m, and power requirements from 12-24V dc.

The MS4800A-30-1640 also provides an IP65 rating for enhanced durability in harsh industrial environments. It is also equipped with a reliable internal power supply, and is designed with a removable sensor head for easy installation and servicing. Additionally, it features integrated remote enable and disable and a maintenance-free operation, with no adjustments necessary to keep it functioning correctly.

Working Principle

The MS4800A-30-1640 Light Curtain operates on the principle of infrared light curtain technology. This equipment is composed of a receiver and an emitter. The emitter produces a beam of infrared light that travels along the length of the guard. If the beam is broken, it will signal the receiver, which will then activate a safety output signal to stop the machine from operating. In order for the receiver to detect the beam, the emitter must have a high intensity to avoid false alarms. Additionally, the emitter and receiver must be properly aligned to ensure that the beam is correctly detected.

Benefits over Conventional Safety Devices

The MS4800A-30-1640 Light Curtain offers many advantages over conventional safety devices such as manual guards, physical barriers, and mechanical interlocks. Light curtains are much more reliable than mechanical interlocks, as the infrared beam cannot be bypassed. They are also much faster than manual guards, allowing for quicker response times. Additionally, light curtains allow a wider view angle, which is ideal for use in automation applications. Finally, light curtains are much easier to install and maintain than other safety devices, making them a highly cost-effective and efficient solution for any industrial safety application.
