MSF4800B-30-1240 Datasheet/PDFMachine Safety - Light Curtains are considered a safeguard in hazardous manufacturing environments. They are often used to protect personnel from moving machine parts or dangerous welding environments. The MSF4800B-30-1240 is a machine light curtain designed to mechanically detect objects passing through a guarded area, which can be triggered at different heights.
Application Field
The MSF4800B-30-1240 is applicable in a variety of areas, including woodworking machinery, automated packaging machinery, or punch presses. The product has a slim design, taking up minimal space and power, making it an excellent choice for machinery requiring low profile, as well as those more requiring additional protection. Additionally, this product is also highly suitable for food and pharmaceutical based production lines due to the elimination of hazardous pinch points.
Working Principle
The MSF4800B-30-1240 uses active infrared detectors to sense objects passing through the guard area. The curtain contains a transmitter and receiver (photo-electric eye) housed in a metal housing with 30 detection levels, guaranteeing optimal data communication. The curtain can be triggered at each individual level, providing for a high level of security against potential machine hazards.
The transmitter and receiver remain activated when the power supply is active in the machine, allowing personnel to approach the machine. If an object intersects the beam of the photo-electric eye, the MSF4800B-30-1240 light curtains signal the machine stop or back off, preventing personnel from contacting the safeguarded area.
Conclusion
The MSF4800B-30-1240 light curtains provide a high level of protection, ensuring optimal safety in hazardous, high risk manufacturing environments. The slim design and low power requirements make this a practical and affordable light curtain. This product is suitable for a wide variety of machine safety applications, and is most suitable for woodworking machinery, automated packaging machinery, or punch presses.
