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.
