Machine Safety - Light Curtains

Light curtains are an important part of machine safety, as they provide a physical barrier that prevents workers and operators from unintentionally coming into contact with hazardous areas of a machine. The MS4800S-20-1240-03X-15R is a type of light curtain that is used in industrial applications. This article will discuss the application field of the MS4800S-20-1240-03X-15R, as well as its working principle.

Application Field

The MS4800S-20-1240-03X-15R has a number of applications. It is ideal for use in automation processes such as assembly lines, production lines, and robotic systems. It can also be used in medical equipment and manufacturing machines as a safety mechanism. The light curtain is particularly effective at safeguarding workers from moving parts, blades, gears, and other hazards. In addition, it can be used as part of a quality control system to detect any fault in products.

Working Principle

The MS4800S-20-1240-03X-15R utilizes a series of infrared light beams emitted from a transmitter and detected by a receiver. In a typical setup, the transmitter is positioned above the hazard and the receiver is positioned below the hazard. When something passes between the transmitter and the receiver, the beam of light is broken and a safety signal is sent to the machine. This signal then stops the motion of the machine and prevents any injury.

The MS4800S-20-1240-03X-15R is a compact light curtain that can be used in many different applications due to its low profile and quick installation. It is also possible to daisy-chain multiple units together to create a wider area of protection. The MS4800S-20-1240-03X-15R is extremely reliable and can be connected to emergency shutdown systems or monitored by a safety controller.

Conclusion

The MS4800S-20-1240-03X-15R is a light curtain that is used in machine safety applications. It is ideal for safeguarding operators from accidental contact with hazards such as moving parts, blades, gears, and other hazardous areas. It utilizes infrared light beams which are emitted from a transmitter and detected by a receiver. The signal that is sent to the machine then stops motion and helps to prevent injury. The MS4800S-20-1240-03X-15R is quick to install, reliable, and can be daisy-chained together for a larger protected area.
