MSF4800S-30-0680-R

Machine safety light curtains are used for preventive safety measures in a variety of industrial environments. The MSF4800S-30-0680-R is a model of light curtain, and this article details its application field and working principle.

Application Field for MSF4800S-30-0680-R Light Curtain

The MSF4800S-30-0680-R is primarily a safety device for industrial machinery, and thus is often used for large-scale cutting, packing, and welding operations. It offers a working area of 2,000 mm in length and 800mm in width, providing enough coverage for machines with large working spaces.

The curtains are often used in areas containing hazardous machinery that requires human presence, such as metal sheet cutters or robotic welding arms. In these cases, the light curtain is used to create a safety area, such that any human entering the area would cease the movement of the hazardous machinery until the human is outside the safe area, and the machine can then resume its operation.

In some cases, the MSF4800S-30-0680-R can also be used in other applications, such as in access control. By configuring the device to act as a barrier between two areas, it is possible to limited access to a certain area in order to maintain safety, security, and/or control.

Working Principle of MSF4800S-30-0680-R Light Curtain

The MSF4800S-30-0680-R is a two-piece light curtain system. The first piece is the transmitter, which emits light beams, and the second piece is the receiver, which detects the light beam. The transmitter is configured to send out 20 infrared light beams, evenly distributed across the area. The beams then reflect off of any solid objects in their path, and are detected by the receiver.

The receiver then passes the information on to a control system. This control system is usually connected to a safety mechanism, such as a break in the energy supply or mechanical barrier. When the light curtain is interrupted by a human or other object, the control system will activate the safety mechanism, shutting off power to the machine or closing of the barrier to protect the person or object.

The MSF4800S-30-0680-R comes with a self-monitoring system. This system constantly checks the functionality of the light curtain, including the beams, receiver, and control system. This ensures that even the smallest malfunction is detected, and the safety system is activated to shut down the machine as necessary in order to protect people and property.

Conclusion

The MSF4800S-30-0680-R is a popular model of light curtain used for safety in industrial applications. It is used primarily for machines with large working areas, such as metal sheet cutters or robotic welding arms. It uses 20 infrared beams, which are detected by a receiver which then activates a safety system if the beams are interrupted. This system also has a self-monitoring component to ensure that it is always functioning properly in order to provide the best possible safety for people and property.
