XC40P-1303A0A0CBC0

The XC40P-1303A0A0CBC0 is a common light curtain used in machine safety installations. Such applications rely on light curtains to detect when a person enters a protected area. Light curtains ensure that people are not in an area when dangerous machinery is in operation.

A light curtain is an array of photoelectric sensors placed around the perimeter of a hazardous area. The functions of each component of a light curtain are carefully designed to ensure maximum safety.

The XC40P-1303A0A0CBC0 is a two channel light curtain, meaning that two light channels are detecting motion at the same time. Each light channel consists of an emitter and a receiver, each having their own LED source, electronics and optics. When these two light channels are aligned along the same axis such that they cross the same space, it is known as a two channel light curtain.

When someone passes through the two light channels, the receiver(photocell) detects the decrease in light intensity and sends a "change of state" signal to the control panel. The control panel\'s logic reacts to the signals sent and stops the machine from operating.

The XC40P-1303A0A0CBC0 has three types of detection: visible beam, near invisible beam, and far invisible beam. The visible beam provides the most efficient detection because the photocells can detect when the beam is broken. The near invisible beam is ideal for installations where the photocells must be concealed or in hard to reach places. The far invisible beam is best used when a wide field of detection is needed.

These light curtains have a range of safety functions, including potential free contacts, simple safety expanders, a built in timer, a built in delay timer, and a low voltage operation. The potential free contact allows the light curtain to be connected to other safety switches or devices. The simple safety expanders enable the light curtain to be linked to safety mats or scanners. The built in timer allows the light curtain to be set for a certain amount of time before it will detect motion. The built in delay timer allows the light curtain to be delayed before it starts detecting motion. The low voltage operation allows the light curtain to be powered by a low voltage source.

The XC40P-1303A0A0CBC0 is a great choice for any machine safety application due to its range of detection and safety functions. This light curtain is easy to install, reliable, and provides a safe working environment for personnel in the hazardous area.
