Introduction to Machine Safety - Light Curtains

In today’s highly automated industrial processes, safety is of paramount importance. The rapidly increasing number of moving parts and machinery threaten the safety of workers and industrial stock if left unchecked. This is where light curtains come in. Light curtains are a type of safety equipment that use multiple light-emitting elements and sensors to create a translucent barrier between workers and large machinery. This barrier of light is strong enough to stop an operator from coming into contact with a moving part or hazardous area if it comes too close. Light curtains are used in a vast array of applications from packaging and printing machines and automated washing systems to woodworking machinery and 3D printing.

MSF4800S-20-1400

The MSF4800S-20-1400 is a light curtain safety system that offers superior safety coverage. It is a high-performance system that protects operators from hazardous areas to a depth of 1400 mm and a width of 4800 mm, making it an ideal solution for many applications. Its four-way light transmission allows it to create extremely accurate coverage while its soft start/soft stop technology ensures that it operates in a safe manner.

Application Field of MSF4800S-20-1400

The MSF4800S-20-1400 is suitable for applications where high safety coverage is needed. It is a particularly popular choice for woodworking machinery due to its ability to safely stop machine moving parts, such as saw blades, from coming into contact with workers. It can also be used on machines that process rolls of material such as paper for packaging and printing, as well as automated washing systems. Additionally, it is also used on 3D printing applications, where its four-way light transmission technology has excellent accuracy.

Working Principle of MSF4800S-20-1400

The MSF4800S-20-1400 is a light curtain safety system that uses multiple light-emitting elements and sensors to create a translucent barrier between workers and hazardous areas. The system is built up of a series of light transmitters and receivers that are evenly spaced and arranged along the edges of the guarded area. When an operator breaks through the light exclusion barrier, an electrical circuit is activated and automatically shuts down the machine, ensuring safety of the workers in the area.

The MSF4800S-20-1400 also utilizes soft start/soft stop technology to ensure a smooth transition from operating to shut-down and vice versa. This prevents any strain on the machinery or the sudden jolting of personnel. Furthermore, the system can be configured to have multiple safety zones or protection depths which can be preset to suit the application.

Conclusion

Light curtains are an essential safety feature on many automated industrial processes. The MSF4800S-20-1400 is an excellent example of a light curtain safety system that offers superior safety coverage. Its four-way light emission technology provides excellent accuracy and its soft start/soft stop feature ensures operational safety. Furthermore, its adjustable protection depths and multiple safety zones make it suitable for a range of applications, from woodworking machinery to 3D printing.
