MS4800S-14-1720

Light curtains, also known as safety curtains, have a wide range of applications in manufacturing and safety-sensitive environments. The MS4800S-14-1720 Light Curtain from C&K Components is specifically designed to provide robust safety technology for industrial automation. In this article, we will explore the application field and working principle of this light curtain.

Application Field

The MS4800S-14-1720 Light Curtain is a Type 4 safety device, the highest level of safety compliance according to IEC standards. This makes it suitable for applications where personnel safety is the top priority. Typical applications include access control, material handling systems, conveyors, hoists and automated machine guarding. This light curtain can also be used as a standalone product or integrated into an existing safety system.

The MS4800S-14-1720 Light Curtain features a compact, IP67-rated enclosure that is dust-tight and water-resistant, making it well-suited for wet or wet-dirty applications. It boasts a detection distance of 14m, offering users a safe and secure environment for operations. The modular design of this curtain allows for easy and secure installation.

In addition to its robust physical construction, the MS4800S-14-1720 Light Curtain also offers a number of advanced features. It features eight levels of sensitivity and adjustable response time, making it ideal for customizing safety levels. It also features built-in anti-jamming, diagnostics and self-checking, allowing users to monitor the safety system even while in operation.

Working Principle

Light curtains are passive safety devices that can detect the presence or absence of a person in an area. The working principle of the MS4800S-14-1720 Light Curtain is based on an emitter and receiver that are positioned opposite each other on either side of an area. This emitter sends out an infrared beam which is then detected by the receiver. If the beam is interrupted by an object or person in the area, the curtain will detect the obstacle and will activate its safety devices.

The MS4800S-14-1720 Light Curtain is designed to ensure maximum safety for personnel. It features a redundant monitoring system which checks the emitter and receiver for any possible failure. If the system detects any failure or interruption in the power supply, it will immediately shut down the machine. This allows personnel to safely enter a hazardous area without causing any damage.

The MS4800S-14-1720 Light Curtain is also designed to reduce the risk of machines being damaged due to misoperation. It has a set of anti-collision function to hinder any unnecessary movement of objects near it. This feature reduces the chances of machinery breakdowns due to unplanned operations.

The MS4800S-14-1720 Light Curtain is a reliable and robust safety device designed to protect people and machines from potential injuries and damage in hazardous and safety-sensitive areas. Its wide array of features ensures that it can easily be integrated into an existing safety system for maximum safety and protection.
