MSF4800B-20-0600

Machine Safety - Light Curtains are safety devices designed to protect operating personnel from potential dangerous situations. The MSF4800B-20-0600 is a model of such a device.

In order to understand the MSF4800B-20-0600’s application field and working principle, it is essential to have a basic understanding of light curtains. A light curtain consists of an emitted light source, which is a transmitting part, and a receiving part. When something blocks the light, a signal is generated. Depending on the application, the signal generated by the curtain will be a warning indication, machine shut down, or even an emergency stop.

The MSF4800B-20-0600, specifically, is a light curtain designed specifically for machine safety. The MSF4800B-20-0600 has a sensing distance of 6 m (19.7 feet) and a resolution of 20 mm (0.79 inch). This means that it is used in applications where workers are exposed to a hazardous environment and need a higher level of safety. The MSF4800B-20-0600 comes as a complete system consisting of a transmitter and a receiver. The receiver has four user selectable safety outputs that can be manually switched to either a “stop” or “ok” condition.

The working principle of the MSF4800B-20-0600 is essentially the same as all other light curtains. It uses Infra Red (IR) sensing technology to detect any obstruction of the light beam between the transmitter and receiver. When a physical object blocks the light beam between the system ends, a pulse signal is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver. The receiver then responds by generating a safety output in accordance with the user settings. The output can be either a warning indication, a machine shut down, or an emergency stop.

In conclusion, the MSF4800B-20-0600 is a light curtain system designed to provide a higher level of protection for workers in hazardous environments. It uses Infra Red (IR) sensing technology to detect any obstruction of the light beam and generates a pulse signal which can be used to produce a warning indication, machine shut down, or emergency stop depending on the user settings. This makes the MSF4800B-20-0600 an ideal device for high-risk applications.
