Introduction

The MS4800S-20-0720-10X-10R-RM2A is a light curtain manufactured by Omron, a world-leading supplier of automation products and solutions. As a machine safety device, the light curtain is designed to guard people and equipment from dangerous conditions generated by machines. The curtain is composed of a set of photoelectric eye beams, which form a safety curtain when combined. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of this light curtain.

Application Field

The MS4800S-20-0720-10X-10R-RM2A light curtain is designed for a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications, such as machine automation, automotive manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, food and beverage processing, packaging, and many other production environments. Since it is a high-end model with a 10-meter range for the active area, it is particularly suitable for detecting large objects and reaching detection distances of several meters. In applications where machines are automatically operated, safety distance can be a critical factor. The light curtain can be deployed to form a protective screen around dangerous areas to ensure maximum safety of workers and maintain the integrity of machinery. It can effectively sense the movement of obstacles in the detection area and block the machine from functioning accordingly to minimize the danger.

Working Principle

The MS4800S-20-0720-10X-10R-RM2A light curtains are divided into a pair of active and passive beams. The active beam is composed of 2 infrared LED emitters and photodiodes to generate a beam of infrared light which is detected by the receiver. The passive beam is composed of a transmitter and receiver pair, which can detect the presence of obstacles within the detection area. When an obstacle interrupts the active beam, the receiver senses the presence of an object and sends a signal to the machine controller to stop its operation. The light curtain is further designed with features to improve its safety rating, such as motion stop, adjustable sensitivity, and double protection. Motion stop allows the machine to detect the presence of an obstacle even in motion, and adjustable sensitivity prevents false alarms by allowing users to adjust the sensitivity of the light curtain. Double protection is designed to ensure that the safety curtain will remain closed even if one of the detectors fails.

Conclusion

The MS4800S-20-0720-10X-10R-RM2A light curtains are ideal for applications that require a wide detection area and greater safety distances, such as machine automation and automotive manufacturing. Through the use of two-beam active and passive systems, adjustable sensitivity, and double protection features, it ensures complete protection of workers and machines at all times.
