The safety contact is co-extruded as an integral part of the profile, eliminating the need to 'fish' the safety contact into the profile, significantly reduced assembly time.
No separate control box is required as the control reliable circuitry is contained in the receiver and transmitter, and no cable is required between the transmitter and receiver.
This 14mm safety light curtain can be configured for point-of-operation guarding applications.
The 14 and 20mm versions are available in standard segmented lengths from 260 to 1390mm.
The 30mm version is available in segments from 350 to 2095mm, making it ideal for perimeter guarding.
For ease of alignment the MS4600 series features, STI's patented individual beam indicators.
The system also comes with inline connector cables, which allow the mounting of transmitter and receiver segments in crowded locations where space is at a premium.
Additional features include MPCE monitoring, exact channel select, floating blanking, and two PNP safety outputs.
A DeviceNet interface or machine test signal is also available.
The MS4600 is third-party certified as a Type 4 device to the rigorous requirements of IEC61496-1, -2, the international standard on active optoelectric protective devices.
