MS4800S-20-1800-10X-10R

MS4800S-20-1800-10X-10R is a light curtain designed for industrial machine safety applications. This type of light curtain is also known as a \'fence-mounted photoelectric light curtain.\' Light curtains effectively deter personnel from entering hazardous areas, typically found on production lines or in other industrial settings.

Light curtain systems are composed of two or more towers of infrared light-emitting items and receivers mounted on telescopic poles. Infrared light is projected from individual emitters in each tower which creates an invisible \'curtain\' or barrier. If an object or person breaks the light curtain, the system sends a signal to a remote device or safety system which shuts down the machine or process.

Light curtains are a reliable safety tool and remain one of the leading methods for safeguarding personnel from dangerous machine motions. They are a much more cost-effective solution over electrically interlocked guards and other conventional safeguarding systems commonly found in industrial machines and production lines.

MS4800S-20-1800-10X-10R light curtain is a versatile and cost-effective solution for safeguarding personnel against a wide range of hazards. It is a Type 4 safety device, as classified by IEC/EN 61496-1 and offers both area-based and point-based protection. It is also suitable for applications where increased safety and the detection of very small objects with a cross section of just 1.6 x 2.2 mm is required.

The MS4800S-20-1800-10X-10R is made up of a base unit and two moveable line scanners. The line scanners are connected to the base unit via a dc power supply cable and communication cable. The base unit can be placed up to 12 metres away from the emitters. The emitters are mounted on the telescopic poles and can be easily adjusted up and down to provide protection across a range of 1.8 metres.

In order to protect a larger area, multiple towers are used along with collision-detection technology. This allows the light curtain to identify multiple objects moving within its field of view, making it ideal for safeguarding workers in more than one area. Additionally, the light curtain is a touchscreen device, allowing users to configure and tinker with the settings.

The system is designed to perform in harsh industrial environments and is rated IP67/IP66 level of protection from water and dust ingress. The MS4800S-20-1800-10X-10R meets the requirements of functional safety standards such as IEC/EN 61496-1 and has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC/EN 61326 electrical safety standards. It also comes with an additional built-in EMC filter to eliminate potential sources of interference.

The MS4800S-20-1800-10X-10R light curtain is an effective and reliable solution for safeguarding personnel from hazardous machine motions and processes. It is a cost-effective, user-friendly and versatile solution for a wide range of industrial applications.
