The SFLA series safety light curtains are installed in potentially dangerous or hazardous areas to safeguard personnel from injury. The light curtains feature proven technology from Autonics area sensors and mapping sensors. The light curtains are built to meet internationally safety standards and regulations. Various detection models (finger/hand/hand-body detection) and safety functions are available for diverse applications. The dedicated software atLightCurtain allows real-time status monitoring user settings such as automatic muting/blanking area functions.

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 safety light curtain PSENopt, also referred to as a light barrier, can be used in all areas of industry where a barrier-free safety concept is to be implemented. Thanks to their compact dimensions and ease of installation, the safety light curtains enable an ergonomic work environment. This is the case, for example, when operator intervention is required as part of each cycle, such as insertion work, or the infeed and outfeed of material.

You can choose between Type 2 and Type 4 safety light curtains in accordance with EN IEC 61496-1/-2, versions for finger, hand and body protection, in lengths from 15 cm to 180 cm. In addition to the Basic light curtains, all Advanced light curtains offer expanded functionalities such as muting, blanking and cascading. Slimline safety light curtains PSENopt slim can be used for space-critical applications.

Accessories range from deviating mirrors, protective columns for shock, collision and vibration protection, protective IP6K9K housing through to test rods. You’ll find the required cable, connector and adapter accessories under Connection technology.

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
