Contact strips resist aggressive chemicals
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.
Safety system helps men and machines work together
The G9SX-GS monitors the machine or robot and operator to make certain they don't enter the co-ordinated area at the same time.
Their multisegmented design allows them to protect up to four different openings by connecting up to four 35 x 50mm housings in sequence.
Protected heights from 150 to 1800mm and resolutions of 14, 20, and 30mm are available, with any combination possible.
This ability to customise height and resolution for each light curtain segment allows for a true custom fit to the specific machine.
For example, an application where a 14mm finger detection segment is required for the vertical plane, and a second 30mm detection segment is required to sense the presence of someone standing in a hazardous area, is now possible without having to resort to multiple machine safeguards.
Remote fixed-blanking allows for quick set up and change over for different jobs.
Programming the blanking feature is easily performed at the front of the metal enclosure, or by an installer-supplied keyswitch that can be conveniently located near the workcell.
The controller is available in a 35mm DIN IP20 enclosure with 24V DC solid-state safety outputs.
It is also available in a 14 gauge steel IP65 lockable enclosure with a choice of solid state or dry contact outputs (mechanical relays).
A wide variety of quick disconnects are available for connecting the sensors, power, and safety signal.
