SF4B-C Safety Light Curtain

Type 4 – compact safety light curtain

The compact safety light curtains with a thickness of only 20 x 27.4mm come with an ultra light housing. The combination of a plastic body with a metal inner frame is designed to minimize weight while at the same time increasing the toughness. The SF4B-C series is available as a hand protection type with a beam pitch of 20mm, allowing you to detect objects with a diameter as small as 25mm.

Type 4 – compact safety light curtain

The compact safety light curtains with a thickness of only 20 x 27.4mm come with an ultra light housing. The combination of a plastic body with a metal inner frame is designed to minimize weight while at the same time increasing the toughness. The SF4B-C series is available as a hand protection type with a beam pitch of 20mm, allowing you to detect objects with a diameter as small as 25mm. The arm-protection type with its beam pitch of 40mm can detect objects of 45mm and larger. Both types offer an operation range of up to 7m. Cable and connector types are available.

Characteristics:

  • Side mounting possible to avoid dead zones
  • Very light weight due to combined metal/polycarbonate housing
  • Very compact dimensions (20 x 27.4mm)
  • Large multi-purpose indicator
  • PNP / NPN polarity switching
  • Beam alignment indicator
  • Interference prevention incorporated
  • IP65 protection

    SQ4 Leak Sensor

    Safety liquid leak sensor, type 4

    SQ4 series safety leak sensors detect leaks and thereby curb danger resulting from them. The two-part design, consisting of the sensor and the mounting bracket, simplifies installation. The sensor itself incorporates two-stage detection: a detection unit at the front of the sensor issues a warning if it comes into contact with liquid, whereas if the detection unit in the center of the sensor becomes immersed, the leak is considered critical and the sensor initiates an emergency stop.
