Safety Light Curtain for Hand Protection — 25 mm Detection, 1825 mm Height
It creates a protective field 1825 mm tall using 90 beams spaced at 20 mm pitch, covering a range from 0.2 m to 7.0 m. This means it catches fingers and hands reaching into a hazard zone — the 25 mm detection capability is the key spec for finger/hand guarding per IEC 61496-1, not just a presence sensor. The 20 mm beam pitch gives you the resolution to detect a hand but not individual fingers; pair it with a 14 mm pitch curtain if you need finger-level protection. Runs on 24 VDC supply and carries an IP65 rating — dust-tight and protected against water jets, so it handles washdown environments in food processing or automotive assembly lines.
Blanking and Muting — Application Flexibility
Built-in blanking and muting functions let you ignore fixed obstructions (like a machine frame passing through the field) or temporarily suspend the curtain during a material feed cycle. Blanking masks out stationary objects within the detection zone; muting bypasses the curtain when a workpiece triggers external sensors in a defined sequence. Both are configurable without an external controller, which simplifies integration on conveyor lines or robotic cells where material needs to pass through the guarded area.
