MS4800B-30-0480

Light curtains are an important mechanism for ensuring machine safety, along with safety switches, guard doors, and emergency stop buttons. The MS4800B-30-0480 is a special type of light curtain, produced by the Mitsubishi company, that is designed for ensuring workers\' safety around dangerous machines. In order to understand the role of this device, it is important to first discuss the application field and working principle.

The primary application field of the MS4800B-30-0480 is in the protection of workers in industrial and manufacturing settings. The device is used to detect the presence of a person near a dangerous machine or in a hazardous area before the machine is activated. It can also be used to detect the presence of a person who approaches too close to the machine. Depending on the actual configuration and type of machine, the light curtain can be used to detect people, animals, and even hazardous objects.

The MS4800B-30-0480 works by emitting an infrared light ray from a transmitter unit to a receiver unit. The transmitter is placed in one end of the curtain while the receiver is placed in the other end. It is important that there is a clear line of sight between the two units. When an object travels into or out from the curtain area, it blocks the light and causes the receiver to detect a break in the light. When this happens, the machine is programmed to shut off immediately.

Anyone who enters the curtain will also be detected. This is commonly done with the use of reflective markers, such as reflective stripes or tags, which are placed on the clothing of workers in hazardous areas. The reflective markers reflect the light and cause an interruption in the light. When this happens, the machine will be programmed to detect the interruption and shut off.

In addition to the application field and working principle, the MS4800B-30-0480 is designed with several advanced safety features. It is designed with a feedbackloop, which means that it is constantly monitoring and adjusting the light level to ensure maximum safety. It also has an automatic reset feature, which means that if the system does detect an interruption, it will automatically reset itself after a short period of time.

The MS4800B-30-0480 is an important device for ensuring worker safety in industrial and manufacturing settings. Its use ensures that workers are always aware of the presence of a dangerous machine and can take steps to minimize the potential hazards. By understanding the application field and working principle of this device, one can ensure that the machine is properly configured and is providing the highest level of safety possible.
