NEW: The World’s First UL-Certified Type 3 Safety Light Curtain PSENopt II
The second generation of safety light curtains, PSENopt II, provide safe access to the production process and provide finger, hand and body protection, depending on the requirement. The first Type 3 safety light curtains are specifically designed for applications up to PL d of EN/IEC 61496-1/-2. Type 4 light curtains are also available for applications up to PL e of EN/IEC 61496-1/-2. As the units are so robust, PSENopt II sensors provide protection against shock, collision and vibration and so are suitable for use in rugged industrial environments. The operator can evaluate the main causes and system defects responsible for the machine stop by means of the LEDs. Downtimes are reduced as a result.
