Its 25 mm detection capability means it catches a hand or finger reaching into the danger zone — that's the spec that decides whether this curtain is right for your machine guarding application. The 340 mm protective height and 20 mm beam pitch give you 17 beams covering that zone. Operating range is 0.2 m to 9.0 m, so it can guard a wide machine opening or a tight access point. The 24 VDC supply is standard for safety circuits. IP65 rating means the housing and optics hold up to washdown and dust — suitable for food processing or wet grinding lines where you're hosing down the cell.
Where it goes and what it does
This light curtain goes between the hazard and the operator. Mount the emitter and receiver on either side of the access point; the 20 mm beam pitch and 25 mm detection capability meet the hand-protection requirements of IEC 61496-1. The 0.2 m minimum range lets you mount it close to the machine frame without losing coverage. Blanking and muting functions are built in — blanking lets you ignore fixed obstructions like a work fixture in the beam field, and muting lets the curtain temporarily bypass during a material pass-through. That saves you from having to add extra sensors or a second curtain for a production line with a conveyor feeding through the guard.
No broker scramble needed. If you're holding a BOM line with this order code, it's a clean fit as long as the 25 mm detection and 340 mm height match your guarding layout.
