With the introduction of a 14mm safety protection resolution, Leuze Electronic has extended the application of its sturdy Solid 4E light curtain to now include hand and finger protection.
All standard features of other Solid 4E safety light curtains have been incorporated in this latest Type 4 development, such as two adjustable different light beam codings that prevent optical cross-talking between neighbouring devices, and maintenance-free operation due to the fail-safe OSSD transistor output. Various LEDs and a digital display indicate the OSSD status, report weak reception signal and help make adjustments or quickly perform error diagnostics on-site.
In addition to the integrated standard functions, restart interlock and relay monitoring, the intelligent interface devices from the Leuze Electronic MSI series bring increased flexibility, such as, muting, single/double break and a facility for connecting safety switches.
Strength in design is a core advantage of this Solid 4E - its strong torsionally stiff rigid housing giving added protection to the device whilst there is also high immunity from emc disturbance - thus assuring reliable protection against intrusion into hazardous areas at all times. These standard features make the Solid 4E safety light curtain the ideal choice where safety is paramount in tough industrial working environments.
The Solid 4E safety light curtain range is now available in five standard resolutions - 14, 20, 30, 40, and 90mm - making Solid 4E extremely flexible for hazardous point protection or area protection across many diverse applications. These can include finger and hand protection at presses and stamping machines for the metal, leather and plastic industries or at manual inserting areas of automated manufacturing cells.
