Safety Light Curtain with Integrated Muting
Its 30 mm detection capability means it resolves objects of that diameter or larger — the standard for finger and hand detection per IEC 61496-2 — so it catches a hand reaching into a hazard zone before the machine cycle completes. With a protective height of 1.51 m and 76 infrared beams, the curtain creates a sensing plane that covers a vertical opening of that height. The 0 to 12.0 m operating range gives flexibility for mounting the receiver and transmitter pair across a machine access point, from a short reach guard to a wider perimeter. Rated IP65/IP67, the housing and optics withstand washdown and temporary submersion — suitable for food-and-bev lines, machining centers, or any area where hose-down cleaning is routine. The -30°C to 55°C operating temperature covers unheated warehouses and refrigerated processing environments.
Muting Function and Integration
The 'Muting W LAMP' in the description signals that this unit includes integrated muting — the ability to temporarily suspend the safety function when a workpiece (not a person) enters the field, while a status lamp signals the muting state to operators. This avoids stopping the line for every pallet or part passing through the curtain.
