That 55 mm detection means it reliably catches a leg or torso entering the hazard zone — it's not for finger or hand safety, but for presence detection at the access point. Six beams at a 50 mm pitch cover a 270 mm protective height, with an operating range from 0.2 m out to 9.0 m. That range covers most machine guarding gates and perimeter access points without needing a secondary sensor. Runs on 24 VDC supply and carries an IP65 rating — dust-tight and protected against water jets, so it handles washdown environments on packaging lines or in food processing areas.
Key features for the integrator
Built-in blanking and muting functions let you mask fixed obstructions (like a machine frame) and temporarily bypass the curtain during a material pass cycle — no external controller needed for basic muting logic.
