MS4800B-30-0720 Machine Safety - Light Curtains Application Field and Working Principle

Light curtains have become an increasingly popular form of machine safety in the progress of factory automation. The MS4800B-30-0720 light curtain is a 3 meter long, safety graded light beam with a 700mm sensing range and a 120 microsecond response time. It is often used to detect the presence of personnel or other objects entering restricted areas of a production line to activate the emergency stop switch. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the MS4800B-30-0720 light curtain.

Application Fields

The MS4800B-30-0720 is highly versatile, making it suitable for a variety of applications. It is commonly used as an automated safety inhibitor to protect personnel from hazardous moving machinery, or to pause production line machinery when personnel stray too close to the hazard area. Some of the more common applications include:

• Construction and automotive production lines
• Robotic automation workshops
• Conveyor systems
• Food processing plants
• Assembly lines and transfer presses

The MS4800B-30-0720 is also widely used in airports for security check lanes and baggage handling systems as well as in exhibition halls and entertainment venues to detect wandering children or the presence of non-authorized personnel.

Working Principle

The MS4800B-30-0720 works by emitting an infrared light beam that is detected by a receiver. When an object passes between the light beam and receiver, the interruption activates the safety system by triggering the emergency stop switch. The sensor uses an infrared light beam that is 302mm above the floor. This height can be adjusted be adjusted up to 600mm.The beam has a 700mm sensing range and a 120 microsecond response time. This ensures that it is sensitive enough to detect any objects entering the protected area, yet not so sensitive that it also detects shadows or reflections from the surrounding environment. The MS4800B-30-0720 also is equipped with a robust aluminum housing that can withstand harsh industrial environments.

Conclusion

The MS4800B-30-0720 is a highly versatile, safety rated light curtain. It is commonly used in a variety of industries as an automated safety inhibitor, such as on construction and automotive production lines, robotic automation workshops, conveyor systems, food processing plants, and assembly lines and transfer presses. The sensor emits an infrared light beam that is detected by a receiver and when an object interrupts the beam, the safety system is triggered activating the emergency stop switch. With its robust aluminum housing and quick response time, the MS4800B-30-0720 is an ideal choice for both industrial and commercial applications.
