Industrial safety light curtain protects fingers and hands while continuously monitoring itself for faults

摘要

Ifm's low-profile safety light curtains provide finger, hand, and body protection in a variety of industrial applications. These type 4 light curtains provide a multi-beam barrier of infrared light in front of a hazardous area. If any of the beams are blocked by an object, such as a finger or a hand, the light curtain sends a signal to the machine to place it in a safe state. Light curtains in this series are offered in protective heights of 160 to 1,510 mm in increments of 150 mm. The light curtain's slim housing design measures only 28 × 30 mm that fits easily in an application for less intrusive mounting. Redundant safety-rated solid-state outputs ensure fast response time. Bright LEDs indicate power, system status and fault conditions.
