MSF4800S-20-0400-20-1280-10X-1

Light curtains are safety devices designed to protect people and equipment from potential hazards. They consist of a series of light beams projected onto a receiver. If any of the beams are broken, or if the field is obstructed, the receiver will detect the disruption and will not allow the machinery to activate. The MSF4800S-20-0400-20-1280-10X-1 light curtain is a type of safety device used in machine safety applications.

Application

The MSF4800S-20-0400-20-1280-10X-1 can be used for protection from many hazards, including crushing and shearing machines, flexible robots, extrusions, and injection molding machines. It is also used to protect personnel from hazardous areas, such as those where hazardous materials are stored. This light curtain is designed to detect all objects within its field of view, including humans and animals, resulting in a safer work environment.

Working Principle

The MSF4800S-20-0400-20-1280-10X-1 is an optically operated safety device. When the light curtain is active, an array of infrared light beams is projected between two projector heads. When these light beams are blocked or interrupted, an alarm signal is sent to the control system, preventing the machine from operating. The alarm signal can also be used to activate other safety mechanisms, such as emergency stop buttons or automatic shutoff systems.

The MSF4800S-20-0400-20-1280-10X-1 also features adjustable detection sensitivity, allowing the operator to tailor the light curtain to the application. The device is also capable of detecting objects in the field of view from a distance of up to 1.28 meters. The light curtain can be programmed to ignore certain objects, such as hands or arms, while still detecting others, such as an obstruction.

Conclusion

Light curtains are an effective and reliable way to ensure a safe working environment. The MSF4800S-20-0400-20-1280-10X-1 is a reliable and adjustable optically operated safety device that is suitable for use in many machine safety applications. The adjustable detection sensitivity and long-range detection make it ideal for use in hazardous areas and for protecting personnel near hazardous machinery.
