MSF4800S-20-1400-20-0880-30X-1

MSF4800S-20-1400-20-0880-30X-1 is a type of light curtains used in machine safety. Light curtains are designed to stop a machine\'s movement in case an object enters a certain area, minimizing the risk of damage to the object and potential hazardous conditions for operators. The MSF4800S-20-1400-20-0880-30X-1 is a special light curtain that has several features that make it particularly useful for certain applications.

Application Field

The MSF4800S-20-1400-20-0880-30X-1 is specifically designed for use in hazardous areas, such as chemical processing plants, where the presence of combustible gases requires special safety measures. It is certified to UL 1577 and UL 2007 standards for use in class 1, division 2 hazardous locations, allowing for use in areas with both combustible gas and dust. This light curtain is particularly suited to use in very harsh environments, as it has a high impact resistant plastic matting that can withstand high temperature and pressure.

The MSF4800S-20-1400-20-0880-30X-1 is also suited for many other applications, such as robotic palletizing, where it can be used to prevent operators from entering dangerous areas of the robot’s work envelope. It can also be used in conveyor systems to detect when products are too close to the edge, or in automated production lines to prevent objects from entering the line. This versatile light curtain is also suitable for use in a wide range of other applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of the MSF4800S-20-1400-20-0880-30X-1 light curtain is quite simple. When the light curtain is activated, an infrared light beam is projected between the emitter and the receiver, forming an invisible barrier. If an object interrupts the light beam, the receiver detects the interruption and sends a signal to the controller. The controller then stops the machine, allowing the object to move out of the way and avoiding any potential hazard.

The sensitive light curtain also has a built-in timer that detects whether an object has remained in the beam for more than the pre-set time limit. This is useful for applications such as robotic palletizing, where an additional timer can help the robot detect if an object is stuck in the beam and thus take appropriate action.

The MSF4800S-20-1400-20-0880-30X-1 is also designed for easy installation and maintenance. It is a self-contained unit which requires no additional wiring. It is also IP65 rated, making it highly resistant to water and dust ingress and allowing for use in more challenging environments.

Conclusion

The MSF4800S-20-1400-20-0880-30X-1 is a versatile light curtain designed specifically for hazardous areas. It is certified to UL 1577 and UL 2007 standards, making it suitable for use in areas with both combustible gas and dust. Its high impact resistant plastic matting makes it particularly suitable for use in harsh environments. It is also easy to install and maintain, and its built-in timer ensures that any objects left in the beam are detected and acted upon.
