Its 2070mm protective height and 42 beams at a 50mm pitch cover a 0.2m to 7.0m operating range, making it suited for guarding large access areas like conveyor in-feeds or robot cells where personnel must be detected before reaching the hazard zone.
The 55mm detection capability means the curtain reliably detects a 55mm-diameter object — typically a hand or forearm — so it is specified for body and leg access, not finger protection. The 2070mm protective height covers a full door or opening up to just over two meters, common for palletizing cells or machine loading stations. The 42 beams at a 50mm pitch give a dense enough curtain to catch a leg stepping through, while the 0.2m to 7.0m range allows the emitter and receiver to be spaced across a typical aisle or conveyor gap. The IP65 rating means the housings are dust-tight and protected against water jets — suitable for washdown environments in food processing or automotive assembly. Blanking and muting functions are built in: blanking lets you disable selected beams to allow a fixed obstruction (like a fixture) through the field without tripping, while muting temporarily suspends the curtain when a workpiece is present on a conveyor, using external sensors to signal the safe state. These are configurable features, not optional add-ons.
Safety light curtains of this class (K1) are deployed at points where personnel can enter a machine's hazard zone — typically around presses, welding cells, packaging lines, and automated assembly stations. The 55mm detection specification places it in the leg/body protection category per IEC 61496-2, meaning it guards against a person walking into the danger area but does not protect fingers or hands.
