Machine Safety - Light Curtains

A light curtain is a safety device that is used in industrial settings to protect personnel from hazards associated with moving machinery. The MS4800S-40-1440-10X-10R-RM2AP is an example of a light curtain. It is typically used in the packaging, processing, automotive and industrial automation industries where it helps make operators aware of their environment and provide an additional layer of protection.

Application field

The MS4800S-40-1440-10X-10R-RM2AP light curtain is designed to be used in industrial processes where personnel protection is required. It is capable of detecting the presence of an individual in a designated area, and can be used to limit the range of motion of a machine or to trigger an emergency stop. It can be used on a variety of machines, such as automated box packaging machines, conveyors, robots, and more. Due to its high safety and reliability, it is also used in critical industries such as nuclear power, chemical, and aerospace.

The light curtain can be used to form a safety barrier between personnel and moving machinery by creating an area that is not accessible to personnel. For example, if machinery is equipped with a light curtain, it can be used to detect when personnel are entering a hazardous working area and will activate an emergency stop if necessary. This prevents personnel from becoming a hazard to themselves and others.

Working Principle

The MS4800S-40-1440-10X-10R-RM2AP light curtain utilizes two sets of light transmitters and receivers that are set up to function together. The light transmitters emit a beam of light that is received by the receivers. This arrangement forms an invisible grid, or curtain, that is able to detect when something passes through it. When the beam of light is disrupted by the presence of an object, the receivers will send a signal to a controller or safety system.

The controller or safety system will then activate an emergency stop and stop the machinery that is operating within the light curtain\'s field of view. Additionally, the light curtain can be programmed with a delay function that will allow it to deactivate the emergency stop once the object has been moved out of the field of view. This provides a safe way to reset the system without having to restart the machine.

The MS4800S-40-1440-10X-10R-RM2AP light curtain is a versatile and reliable device that can be used in a variety of industrial environments. It provides reliable personnel safety and can help to reduce the risk of workplace accidents. It is easy to install and setup, and is a cost-effective way to help keep personnel safe while they are operating machinery.
