Safety Light Curtains and Multiple Light Beam Safety Devices with integrated muting

Safety Light Curtains and Multiple Light Beam Safety Devices with integrated muting

Muting allows, for example, palettes or work pieces/equipment to pass by the active opto-electronic protective device, COMPACTplus-m, without any process interruption

Multi Beam Safety Light Barriers; Approach at a right angle

Multi Beam Safety Light Barriers; Approach at a right angle

S = 1600 * T + 850 mm

Number of beams	Height above ref. plane
4	300, 600, 900, 1200
3	300, 700, 1100
2	400, 900

T is the total of response time of the AOPD, safety interface and the stop time of the machine.

A period must be entered to mark the decimal point.
