Pilz - new Light Curtain safeguards danger zones

摘要

Pilz has expanded its offer of light barriers for safe access to danger zones with the launch of PSENopt Advanced, a new safety light curtain model featuring advanced configuration, multifunctional capability and no dead zones. According to Pilz Managing Director Scott Moffat, the PSENopt Advanced can be manually or software configured for standard, blanking or direct muting capability, with the bonus of cascadability, meaning that one light curtain can be used for many functions. "Given this flexibility, the PSENopt can be adapted to any application environment." The PSENopt offers greater programming flexibility in advanced configuration mode (ACM) using an Ethernet interface adaptor and the free to download PSENopt Configurator software. In this mode up to five fixed blanking zones can be set, and the number of floating blanking beams is selectable. Muting options can also be set including cross beam, parallel beam, muting period and override.
