MS4800S-30-0840

Machine safety is an integral part of any industry. The industry cannot risk the safety of its workers and the machinery that powers the facility. With this in mind, factories, workshops, and other establishments require reliable safety solutions to ensure that accidents and injuries are avoided. Light curtains are one of the most popular machine safety solutions employed in the industry worldwide.

The MS4800S-30-0840 is a light curtain manufactured by OMRON. It is designed to be used in railway, automotive, machine tool, and other complex and demanding applications. It has a range of protective functions, such as muting, blanking, floor mounting, and intrusion detection. The MS4800S-30-0840 is suitable for safety-critical applications and meets UL508C, IEC 60204-1, and EN 61496-1 standards.

The working principle of the MS4800S-30-0840 is based on the Reflected Light Method (RLM). RLM is a method of sensing obstacles by using a light emitter and one or more receivers. When an object passes between the light emitter and receiver, the light reflected off the object is detected by the receiver, and the receiver circuit output is triggered. As the MS4800S-30-0840 is a two-element light curtain, it is equipped with two receivers. The two receivers can be used to sense the presence of separate objects, enabling the MS4800S-30-0840 to provide both muting and blanking functions.

The MS4800S-30-0840 is most often used in glovebox applications, in which it enables workers to interact with the machine safely, while still providing a barrier against potential hazards and minimizing the risk of injury. It can also be used to detect the presence of objects in the process zone, which can prevent equipment from performing potentially dangerous actions that could lead to injury or damage. Additionally, it is designed to be easy to install, with optional floor mounting to enable a hassle-free installation experience.

In conclusion, the MS4800S-30-0840 provides an effective and reliable solution for many applications, from glovebox interactions to intrusion detection. Its simple and robust design, combined with its range of protective features, make it an ideal choice for various safety-critical applications. The Reflected Light Method is used to make it reliable and reduces false triggers, meaning that the MS4800S-30-0840 is a dependable solution for a variety of applications.
