The Standard version of these type 4 safety light curtains features a start/restart interlock (RES) and contactor monitoring (EDM) for increased performance – and it is simple to handle and integrate into your systems. Reaching under and stepping behind protection as well as rear zone guarding can be efficiently implemented with the cascadable model.

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
Models for cascading up to three devices facilitate easy implementation of reaching under and stepping behind protection as well as rear zone guarding
Short delivery times and global availability

The Panasonic SD3 Safety Laser Scanner is a cost-effective alternative for guarding danger zones. It can be used flexibly in confined spaces and for areas where the danger zone changes.

The SD3 can monitor an area within an angle of up to 190° and divides it into 2 zones: a warning zone within a radius of 15m, and a protection zone within a radius of 4m. The contours of these zones can be configured precisely for any application. Up to eight zone patterns can be set and activated at any given time even during operation.

The reference boundary function memorizes the position of stationary objects and establishes a virtual boundary. It also monitors beam alignment after installation and issues an alarm if a beam becomes misaligned.

Properties:

Blanking features for blanking any obstacles in the detection field

integrated switching unit, contactor control and restart interlock activated by Dip-switches

can be connected directly to contactors/valves, switching capacity 0,5A/24V

minimum safety distance due to short response times, between 5 ms and 25 ms, depending on constructional length

detection of smallest obstacles (14 mm / 30 mm) inside a detection range of 7 meters / 24 meters

between 7 and 247 beams with protective heights from 100 up until 2500 mm

micro-processor controlled safety functions

muting and stroke operation with optional safety control-unit PLSG

self-monitoring semiconductor outputs with line interruption monito ring, short-circuit- and side current passages check

built-in self-diagnosis with error display

protective system IP 65 (waterproof sealed)

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
