MS4800B-30-1680-10X-10R

Introduction

The MS4800B-30-1680-10X-10R is a light curtain from the Machine Safety family of products. It is a safety device designed to protect people in the workplace from potential hazards caused by machinery operation. The light curtain works by creating an invisible, yet physical, barrier between the work area and the machine operator. When the beam is interrupted, the light curtain signal’s to the machine to stop. Light curtains provide personnel protection from the hazards associated with automated machinery and are a cost-effective safety solution for a wide range of applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the MS4800B-30-1680-10X-10R light curtain.

Application Field

The MS4800B-30-1680-10X-10R is designed for use in industrial and commercial applications. It is widely used in the manufacturing and engineering industries, such as automotive production lines, conveyor belts, robotics, welding, milling, pressing, and packaging. It can also be used in other areas, such as electronic scanning systems, assembly lines, and door/gate access control. It is also suitable for use in educational and research environments. The light curtain is suitable for a variety of use cases, including safety applications and machine automation. In safety applications, the light curtain provides personnel protection by creating an invisible barrier between potential hazards and personnel. For machine automation applications, the light curtain is used to detect the position and orientation of objects as well as the presence and absence of materials or products.

Working Principle

The MS4800B-30-1680-10X-10R light curtain is composed of a frame with multiple pairs of light emitting diodes (LEDs) and photoelectric sensors arranged in horizontal rows. When the light curtain is activated, the LED emit an infrared beam which is detected by the photoelectric sensors. When something or someone interrupts this beam, the light curtain will detect it and send a signal to the machine controller to stop or pause the machine. The number of rows and the sensitivity of the light curtain can be adjusted based on the application, allowing it to be used in different environments.

Conclusion

The MS4800B-30-1680-10X-10R is a light curtain from the Machine Safety family of products. It is designed for use in industrial and commercial applications, and is widely used for safety applications and machine automation. It works by emitting an invisible infrared beam which is detected by photoelectric sensors, and when the beam is interrupted a signal is sent to the machine controller. This light curtain is a highly cost-effective safety solution for a wide range of applications.
