MS4800S-30-2120-R

Machine safety is a priority for any industrial application. Automatic machine protection systems protect personnel from hazardous behaviors and errors. Such systems reduce exposure to risk and help maximize productivity and efficiency. The MS4800S-30-2120-R is a light curtain machine safety system that provides high-end safety solutions for all applications.

What are Light Curtains?

A light curtain is an active limit switch used to provide personnel protection by interrupting the cycle of a machine when someone gets too close. Light curtains are transparent, tubular, and extend horizontally from side to side. They can also be used in vertical and diagonal patterns. The space between the light source and the light receiver is defined as the protective field. This is the area that the system uses to detect presence and to cause a stop signal. Light curtains are very precise, provide a wide field of view, and are very deterministic. The deterministic nature of the device ensures protection in a short period of time.

MS4800S-30-2120-R Application Field and Working Principle

The MS4800S-30-2120-R light curtain is a specially designed system for safe monitoring of machines and processes. The system has a robust housing and is robustly sealed to IP67/IP68 ratings to protect from dust, water, and other environmental conditions. As such, the machine safety light curtain system is suitable for demanding industrial applications.

In operation, the MS4800S-30-2120-R machine safety light curtain system emits and detects harmless infrared light beams. The light-sensitive receiver components in the curtains detect the difference between a person and the other objects in the protected field. If any foreign object or person comes into contact with the light beams, the system immediately sends a stop signal. The system can be installed both vertically or horizontally and has a tall protective field that is preferable for industrial machinery or areas with a high level of pedestrian traffic.

Features of MS4800S-30-2120-R

The MS4800S-30-2120-R machine safety light curtain system is designed to provide effective safe machine protection, with a number of features that make it suitable for industrial applications. These features include:

• IP67/IP68 rating for a robust and watertight enclosure
• A tall protective field of 2.1m  range
• 2 x 11 beams for maximum coverage and safety
• Reliable signals for safety standards up to PL e/SIL 3/Cat.4
