Machine safety - light curtains are a widely used piece of safety equipment, designed to provide a trip free, hands-free form of protection. The MSF4800S-20-0480 is one of the most popular light curtain products, and is used in a variety of applications including material handling, automation, welding and more. This article will discuss the application field of this device as well as its working principle.

Application Field

The MSF4800S-20-0480 is commonly used in commercial and industrial applications where human safety and operational efficiency are essential. Common applications include manufacturing, construction, material handling, and industrial inspection. Since it is an exceptionally reliable, highly sensitive light curtain, it is a reliable choice for protecting personnel in hazardous work environments. It also is designed to be easily integrated into automated systems, making it a great choice for robotics, automated manufacturing lines, and other automated machinery.

Furthermore, the MSF4800S-20-0480 is also useful in enhancing machine safety in terms of personnel danger avoidance. In some applications, the curtain can be used to create a visible shield of protection for personnel when operating in close proximity to dangerous equipment or hazardous substances, and to minimize environmental damage.

Working Principle

The functioning of an MSF4800S-20-0480 light curtain is based on a sequence of events involving a transmitter and receiver. Once the transmitter senses the presence of an object, it sends out an infrared beam that is picked up by the receiver. If the beam is interrupted, that will trigger an emergency stop. This will stop all moving components of the machine and alert the operator of the emergency situation.

The core of the device is composed of two elements, the transmitter and receiver. Each component is equipped with multiple light emitting diodes (LEDs). The transmitter generates an invisible infrared beam of light and transmits it across the desired field of coverage, which is limited to a distance of up to 3 meters. The receiver captures the infrared and confirms if the beam has been broken. If the beam is interrupted, then the light curtain activates the emergency stop, alerting the operator of the emergency situation.

The MSF4800S-20-0480 also features a range of additional safety features designed to make it one of the safest light curtains on the market. It is equipped with a Power Failure Lockout system, which prevents the machine from starting up again after an emergency stop, even if the emergency reset button is pressed. It also includes an optional Microprocessor Control System, which offers additional features such as status monitoring and logging.

In conclusion, the MSF4800S-20-0480 is an extremely reliable light curtain, and one of the most popular light curtains on the market. It is suitable for many applications and provides a high level of safety. Its easy integration into automated systems, range of additional safety features, and low power consumption make it an ideal option for a variety of operations.
