Machine safety is a critical component in industrial automation in order to reduce the risk of injury to workers in operating hazardous machinery. Light curtains are widely used in machine safety applications to protect workers from potential danger zones. The MS4800S-14-0440-R light curtain is an example of a high-performance light curtain that is commonly used in industrial applications. This article discusses the application field for the MS4800S-14-0440-R and its working principle.

Application Field for the MS4800S-14-0440-R

The MS4800S-14-0440-R is a compact, versatile light curtain designed for small to medium-sized operator control areas. It is ideally suited for machines and applications operating with small parts, as well as those where space is at a premium. This light curtain is CE certified, offering a safe, effective and reliable system for the prevention of human accidents. It is often used to secure the guarded area of hazardous machinery and equipment, such as presses, grinders, robots and stamping machines. Other applications include conveyor systems, packaging machines, saws, cutting machines and other automated workstations.

The light curtain consists of a receiver/transmitter unit mounted on the machine, and an array of up to 14 beams that form a protective safety zone. The receiver/transmitter unit is connected to a control system or a safety PLC, which monitors the beams for obstruction or interruption, allowing the safety circuit to be immediately activated should an obstacle be detected. The light curtain is also capable of providing diagnostic information to the user, allowing for easier maintenance and ensuring the system is always working to its full capability.

Working Principle of MS4800S-14-0440-R Light Curtains

The MS4800S-14-0440-R works by emitting infrared light beams from the transmitter to the receiver unit in an alternating pattern. The receiver unit contains a specially designed lens that splits the light into up to 14 distinct beams. An IR sensitive light sensor then detects when a beam is obstructed or interrupted, which can be due to either the presence of an object or the entry of a person into the safety zone. When this occurs, the control system or safety PLC is immediately notified, activating a safety circuit that stops or restricts the movement of the machine’s operating components.

It is important to note that the MS4800S-14-0440-R is not only a light curtain—it is also a powerful diagnostic device. The light curtain is equipped with diagnostic features that allow users to simulate and troubleshoot the system in order to optimize the safety circuit. This ensures that the light curtain is working properly and that the safety circuit is always under control.

Conclusion

The MS4800S-14-0440-R is a high-performance light curtain that is CE certified and suitable for small to medium-sized operator control areas. It is designed to prevent accidents by means of an array of 14 alternating infrared beams that detect the presence of an object or person in the safety zone. The light curtain also incorporates diagnostic features for testing and optimizing the safety circuit. The MS4800S-14-0440-R is a reliable and effective safety solution for machines and equipment operating with hazardous components.
