Light curtains are becoming a common machine safety feature, used to protect operators from injury, often by providing visibility. The MSF4800S-30-1920-30X-30R is a light curtain manufactured by AutomationDirect for just such applications. By learning about the application field and working principle of this light curtain, we can better understand its capabilities and therefore make the best use of it.

Application Field

The MSF4800S-30-1920-30X-30R is a 4.8m long light curtain, intended for use on machines and other equipment with hazardous motion. It is designed to fit into a range of safety applications and features a range of different technologies to meet the needs of different industries. The most common applications include:

• Machine guarding applications, such as safeguarding personnel from robotic arms or automated systems.
• Industrial robot applications, in which personnel must be isolated from dangerous robot movements.
• Process safety applications, such as the monitoring of hazardous fluids or pressurized gases.
• Agricultural applications, in which personnel must be protected from moving parts of tractors, harvesters, etc.
• Manufacturing applications, in which personnel must be isolated from hazardous equipment.

Working Principle

The MSF4800S-30-1920-30X-30R light curtain operates using a simple principle – a series of small, LED-illuminated points, or ‘sensors’, are arranged in a configuration across the length of the light curtain. The sensors are linked together and connected to a controller, which can detect an obstruction between the sensors and activate a stop signal if something interrupts the light beam. This helps to prevent potential accidents, ensuring the safety of personnel.

The sensor arrangement of these light curtains is designed to detect any obstacles in a range of different shapes and sizes, from small objects to a human body. The light curtains use a laser-type technique that allows them to detect obstacles from a longer distance than traditional light curtains, and they are ideal for protecting personnel from hazardous machinery or fluid handling systems.

In addition to these benefits, the MSF4800S-30-1920-30X-30R light curtain utilizes advanced safety features to further improve safety. The light curtain’s embedded self-test feature regularly evaluates the performance of the light curtain, making it suitable for use in critical safety systems. Furthermore, the detection time of the light curtain can be adjusted to meet the safety needs of a broad range of applications.

Conclusion

The MSF4800S-30-1920-30X-30R light curtain is a great choice for many industrial and process safety applications. Its wide range of functionalities make it suitable for use in a variety of industries, from industrial robots to agricultural equipment, ensuring that personnel remain safe from potential accidents. Furthermore, the light curtain’s self-test feature and adjustable detection time further increase its user safety.
