Angled light barrier CEDES Safety Automation AG

Safe4 light curtain is a contactless safety device with built-in self-testing. It contains two redundant self-monitored chan nels which fulfill index IV of the Machine Directive EC/98/37 as cat. 4 safety light curtains and IEC / EN 61496.

The light curtain system is very resistant to ambient light interference and can cope easily and very reliably with demanding applications, such as welding robots. The large detection range (up to 30 m for hand-resolution and up to 9 m for finger-resolution) also enables the reliable safeguarding of hazardous zones covering large areas. With Safe4 units available starting at 120 mm lengths, they are optimally designed to safeguard small hazardous areas.In addition, it is also possible to combine multiple protective fields (cascading or L-configuration), and monitor them with a single controller. This provides the machine manufacturer the freedom to optimize the machine design.
