It provides a 470mm protected height with 20mm resolution, meaning it detects fingers or small parts entering the sensing field — finger-protection class per IEC 61496-1. This makes it suitable for guarding access to hazardous machine zones like press brakes, assembly stations, or robotic cells where an operator needs to reach into the area.
The 20mm resolution is the key selection parameter: it catches a 20mm-diameter object entering the field, which corresponds to finger detection per IEC 61496-1. The 470mm protected height defines the vertical coverage — sized for guarding a machine opening or hazard zone of that height. The Bulk package indicates the unit ships individually, not on a reel, which is standard for safety light curtains in panel or machine integration.
