Machine Safety - Light Curtains

The MS4800S-14-0800-00X-00R light curtain is a reliable safety-measurement tool that provides protection for both humans and machinery. It is commonly used in many industries, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and metalworking, among others. The light curtain is designed to detect user’s near-zone access to hazardous areas, prevent against mechanical damage, and mitigate the risk of human-machine operators being injured by machines in their workplace.

Based on infrared beams, the light curtain curtain operates by generating an impenetrable light beam. When the light beams are obstructed, an alarm is sounded and the machine instantly shut off. By utilizing an optical technology, the light curtains are able to detect even the tiniest foreign object or body part that comes into contact with the light beam. The rapid response time of the light curtains prevents even the slight movement of a body part resulting in an instant alert.

The mounting and applications of the MS4800S-14-0800-00X-00R light curtain are straight forward and easy to install. Generally, the curtains come pre-configured for common uses and are compatible with up to four safety controllers, providing a safe, easy, and quicker way to configure the curtains.

The MS4800S-14-0800-00X-00R is suitable for standard machine guarding applications, which includes secure areas of travel as well as mobile hazards. These curtains are also suitable for more custom installation settings; with the use of a mounting bracket the light curtain can be customized for specific machine designs. Additionally, these curtains are widely used in conveyor systems, particularly along the route of the conveyor belt as it moves through the areas of contact with the machine.

The light curtain’s reliable detection capabilities are realized by its ability to detect any foreign objects or body parts that come in contact with the light beam, from a distance of up to 14 feet (4.3 m). The technology can operate in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +50°C and has a wide voltage range to handle many different applications.

The built-in features of the light curtain make it a fantastic tool for its intended goal. The optical technology ensures detection from any angle, and an impressive response time within 2 m/s of an obstruction. An internal memory stores up to 40 curves to easily detect anomalies, and an LED display allows for intuitive troubleshooting.

In summary, the MS4800S-14-0800-00X-00R light curtain is a powerful tool for providing protection to both humans and machines. Its features make it easy to install and use for a variety of applications, and its infrared beam technology can detect any foreign object or body part that comes into contact with the beam from a distance of up to 14 feet. The MS4800S-14-0800-00X-00R is the perfect light curtain for industries including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and metalworking.
