Safety light curtain with integrated Muting functions for the protection of high-risk industrial applications, in particular those requiring a highlevel of integration of the muting functions. SAFEGATE guarantees the integration of the muting sensors that can be connected directly to the safety light curtain. Programmable models (SMPO) functional parameters configuration can be managed via Safegate Configuration Software (SCS)

Safety light curtains with integrated Muting functions. The Janus series is the solution for the protection of a vast number of high-risk industrial applications, in particular those requiring a high level of integration of the safety functions. For example, in the models with built-in Muting function, Janus guarantees the independence of the light curtain from the control circuits of the system (often distant from the protected gate) and, where necessary, also the integration of the Muting sensors. Settings of each function integrally performed via themain connector.

The MLC 530 SPG Smart Process Gating variant is the specialist for access guarding with material transport. It allows for a particularly compact system design as it works without the use of muting sensors. Process control takes place here in combination with the system controller. This provides a high level of protection against tampering and at the same time a high degree of availability.

Advantages:
Integrated Smart Process Gating function for process control together with the system controller, no muting sensors necessary
Allows the system to be very compact and thus saves valuable space
Optimal handling due to function selection without PC as well as LED and 7-segment display with integrated 3-zone alignment aid
Reduced risk of tampering and increased reliability for a high degree of system availability

The MLC 520 EX2 series is certified for use in potentially explosive areas of group II, category 3, zone 2 (gas) and zone 22 (dust). The function range of these type 4 safety light curtains corresponds to the MLC 520 standard version and thus also offers a start/restart interlock (RES) and contactor monitoring (EDM) for increased performance – with very simple handling and integration.

Advantages:
Basic functions such as automatic start/restart, start/restart interlock (RES), contactor monitoring (EDM)
Optimal handling due to function selection without PC as well as LED and 7-segment display with integrated 3-zone alignment aid
Prevention of mutual interference of the sensors by selectable transmission channels and range reduction, if applicable
Short delivery times and global availability
QR code on the sensor for quick service information
Approved for use in potentially explosive areas of group II, category 3, zone 2 (gas) and zone 22 (dust)

Safety light curtains for the protection of the majority of industrial applications in Category 2. Test function, activated automatically and periodically, without interruption of the operation of the machine being controlled. The breadth of the range, including MXL models with integrated Muting function.

This model is particularly useful whenever perfect integration with the machine’s design is required. It features an extra slim design of only 15.4 mm and a fine gradation of the protective field height with a 30 mm grid. Together with the dead zone-free device concept and optional cascading, the permissible safety distances can be optimally utilized.

Advantages:
Basic functions such as automatic start/restart, start/restart interlock (RES) and contactor monitoring (EDM)
Perfect integration in the machine design due to extra slim design of only 15.4, device design without dead zones and fine length gradation in 30 mm grid
Optimal handling due to function selection without PC as well as LED indicators with alignment aid
Cascading function for up to three devices for easy implementation of reaching under and stepping behind protection

SG2 Type 2 Extended offers Finger and Hand resolution safety detection with integrated selectable EDM function and automatic or manual restart mode.

SG Body Compact are suitable for safety protection and perimeter access control where high reliability, cost saving and easy are requested. A fully integrated Muting function is available to distinguish the material flow from an accidental passage of an operator.

• A muting system can be configured easily in combination with the safety light curtain.

• Muting functions can be stably performed even when workpieces with holes pass.
