MSF4800-30-0280-X2

Machine safety has long been an integral part of industrial operations, and light curtains are an effective tool in ensuring the safety of employees and machinery alike. The MSF4800-30-0280-X2 light curtain is a recent development in machine safety that is widely used in industry today. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the MSF4800-30-0280-X2 light curtain.

Application Field

The MSF4800-30-0280-X2 is a type 2, 4 beam light curtain designed for use in industrial settings. The light curtain is rated to IP67 and uses an NEMA 4/4X/12 connection. This makes it ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including hazardous locations where flammable gases, vapors or dust are present. The MSF4800-30-0280-X2 is also UL and CSA listed, making it a reliable machine safety solution that can be used in many different environments.

The MSF4800-30-0280-X2 is best used in environments where personnel safety as well as the protection of valuable machinery is of the utmost importance. It can be used to protect personnel from falling objects, to detect the presence of people in hazardous areas, and to prevent access to hazardous parts or machinery. The light curtain is also commonly used in robotic cells, as it can stop a cycle if a human or object is detected in the work area.

Working Principle

The MSF4800-30-0280-X2 light curtain transmits infrared light beams across a space, forming an invisible light curtain. The light curtain is then connected to a control box, which is used to monitor the status of the light curtain. If any of the infrared beams is interrupted, the control box will detect the beam break and will instantly shut down the system or activate an alarm if desired.

The light curtain also has a range of practical features, such as the ability to adjust the response speed, beam spacing and detection zone size to suit the application. The light curtain also comes with a test button, which allows the user to easily check the system is functioning correctly and can be used as a safety verification step.

The MSF4800-30-0280-X2 is an effective and reliable solution for machine safety, and is suitable for use in many different applications and environments. By combining advanced technology with a range of practical features, the MSF4800-30-0280-X2 can provide a safe and secure machine safety solution for your business.
