Machine Safety - Light Curtains

Light curtains are optical, electronic devices used in industrial settings to keep personnel safe. They create a protective barrier that can detect and react quickly to any interruption in the infrared light beam they produce. The MSF4800S-40-0600-40-0600-10X-1 model (hereafter referred to as the MSF) is one such device, designed to protect personnel from contact with hazardous equipment. In this article, we will explore the application field and working principle of the MSF.

Applications

The MSF is a multi-channel, IP67-rated device well-suited for industrial and outdoor environments. It is comprised of one master unit with one or more individual slave units. The maximum operating distance is 4 meters, and the light curtain can be safely mounted on either metal or plastic surfaces. It is designed to provide reliable protection against hazardous equipment in hazardous locations such as grinding machines, lathes, welding machines, and robotic arms.

The MSF has a built-in PLC programmable logic controller) that is capable of detecting the presence of a hand or other body parts entering a hazardous area. The device is also capable of identifying and rejecting false signals. It can be programmed to customize its response according to different environmental conditions and applications, and it offers a variety of safety features such as selectable light curtains, safety relays, safety monitoring software, and motion control software.

The MSF is an ideal choice for operations such as manufacturing, packaging, conveyance, loading and unloading, palletizing, and automated storage. It is also well-suited for a variety of medical and commercial applications including safety indicators, vending machines, forklifts, trucks, and cranes. In addition, the MSF is compatible with many safety standards, including EN ISO 13849 and EN ISO 14121.

Working Principle

The MSF light curtain works by detecting the presence of an object. The device is equipped with a master unit and up to four slave units. The master unit emits and receives infrared beams, and the slave units can detect the beams. If an obstruction breaks the beam, the device will shut off or take other protective action.

When the beam is not interrupted, a normally open switch is closed. This switch is connected to a built-in safety relay which supplies power to the safety circuit. If any one of the beams is interrupted, the switch will open and the safety circuit will be deactivated and the machine will not operate. The system is designed to immediately detect and respond to any interruption of the light beam.

The MSF features a wide range of safety features designed to protect personnel from contact with hazardous equipment. It is rated for Category 4/Performance Level e according to EN ISO 13849, and it complies with both EN ISO 14121 and IEC 61508.

In addition, the device includes an embedded monitoring system (SMS), which can detect and indicate any interruption in the light curtain and other safety components. The SMS has an LED indicator that shows the device\'s status. It is also capable of sending messages to the operator\'s terminal to alert them of an issue.

The MSF also features advanced motion control software for controlling automation systems in conjunction with the light curtain. This software provides monitoring and control of any motors or other equipment that is connected to the system. It can also be used to adjust the speed of the motors to optimize efficiency and safety.

In conclusion, the MSF is a highly reliable and versatile safety device. It is designed to provide personnel protection from hazardous machinery and equipment in a variety of settings. The device is compatible with a range of safety standards, and it has an embedded monitoring system, advanced motion control software, and other features that make it suitable for a wide range of applications.
