Light barriers belong to electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) which cut off dangerous movements and initiate a safe condition when persons or objects approach to a dangerous location.
Advantages
Increase productivity by longer cycle times without loss of safety
No need for mechanical safety devices
Easy implementation of muting functions
Technology
The electro-sensitive protective equipment BWS-S, also referred to as type 4, is not affected by a farlure within the electro-sensitive protective equipment. Our solutions for this include:
Type-tested evaluation circuits in compliance with relevant norms
Prewired rail-mounted modules, also with muting function
Applications
Protection of operators on machinery who have to cyclically intervene in the process (dangerous area), e.g. loading and removal of process material/products.
A typical application is the operation of presses.
NO = normally open contact, NC = normally closed contact
* Please check state of approval of idividual devices in the latest data sheet.
