What this light curtain does
Its 30mm detection capability means it catches a hand or arm reaching through the protected plane — that's finger-protection class per IEC 61496-1, so it suits guarding around presses, assembly stations, and robotic cells where a person could reach into danger. Thirteen beams at 25mm pitch cover a 320mm protective height, with an operating range from 0.2m out to 9.0m. That range covers most machine guarding layouts — think conveyor in-feeds, palletizer cells, or packaging line access points where you need a wide curtain but not a tall one. Runs on 24VDC supply, rated for -10°C to 55°C ambient.
Built-in flexibility: blanking and muting
This curtain includes blanking and muting functions as standard features. Blanking lets you optically mask fixed obstructions (a conveyor frame or part fixture) that sit permanently in the beam path without tripping the safety output. Muting temporarily suspends the curtain during a material pass — think a pallet moving through the guarded opening — then re-arms the protection once the load clears. Both are configurable without an external controller on this series.
