MS4800S-20-1520-X

Machine safety is an important technology that requires reliable, effective solutions. A key element in these solutions is the use of light curtains. The MS4800S-20-1520-X is a model of a light curtain that provides safety solutions for different industrial applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of this light curtain.

The MS4800S-20-1520-X is a type 4 (Type 4 is the highest level of safety verification) light curtain that is designed to provide the highest level of protection in the industry. It is suitable for applications that require safe protection from physical hazards, such as those found in the automotive and robotics industries.

The light curtain is made up of an array of infrared beams which are transmitted and received at the light curtain housing. When the beams are broken, an electric signal is sent and received by the light curtain control unit. This signal triggers the safety function, which is the halting of machinery or processes when the safety zone is violated.

The range of this light curtain is 400 meters, meaning that it can effectively detect and protect up to 400 meters from the housing. The light curtain is equipped with a range of functions, such as adjustable field height, adjustable sensitivity, adjustable blanking height, dynamic height adjustment and an automatic reset function.

The light curtain is also designed with an anti-tamper function that prevents accidental or intentional tampering of the beam. By activating this function, it will automatically enter a safety mode if an external force attempts to turn off the device. Additionally, the light curtain also has built-in self-diagnostics that allow maintenance personnel to quickly and easily monitor the operational status of the device.

In addition to its physical safety functions, the MS4800S-20-1520-X also offers a variety of operational safety features. These include programmable muting, rapid start/stop, virtual sensor, and shock absorber functions. Programmable muting will reduce the shock from objects entering the safety zone, while rapid start/stop reduces the unwanted interruption to operations caused by the light beam being broken. The virtual sensor allows the user to set warning levels for incoming objects, and the shock absorber ensures that any impact into the safety zone is constantly and reliably monitored.

With its many features, the MS4800S-20-1520-X is an ideal light curtain for providing safety and security in both industrial and commercial environments. The light curtain offers the highest level of protection while also providing the user with a variety of operational safety features which make it an invaluable tool for any business.
