It projects 42 beams at a 20mm pitch across a protective height of 865mm, creating a detection zone that catches a hand or finger reaching into a hazard area — that's the 25mm resolution meeting finger-protection class per IEC 61496-1. The effective operating range spans 0.2m to 7.0m, so it fits guarding applications from close-in press feeds to longer conveyor access points.
This light curtain guards hazardous machine zones — presses, stamping lines, robotic cells, packaging machinery — where an operator's hand could enter the danger area. The 865mm protective height covers typical waist-to-shoulder reach zones on standing-height machines. The IP65 rating (dust-tight, water-resistant) means the sensor housing and optics withstand washdown environments, so it's suitable for food-and-beverage or automotive assembly lines that get hosed down.
Runs on 24VDC supply, standard for safety circuits in industrial control panels. The 25mm detection capability means it catches a hand reaching through the beam array — that's the spec that determines whether it meets the required safety distance for your application. The 42 beams at 20mm pitch give a dense curtain with no blind spots between beams. Built-in blanking and muting functions let you configure fixed or floating blanking zones (to ignore a workpiece that blocks beams) and muting (to temporarily override the curtain during material pass-through) — these are programmable features that save adding external bypass logic.
