Omron Scientific Technologies Inc.’s MiniSafe MS4800 series safety light curtains are designed to satisfy simple or complex machine safety applications. The MS4800 is available in advanced, standard and basic versions. A cascaded configuration reduces cabinet space requirements and provides an effective guarding solution in multi-sided and dual-axis guarding applications. Optical scan codes eliminate cross talk, which enables OEMs to consistently build identical machines without staggering the transmitter and receiver position. Individual beam indicators simplify alignment, external device monitoring ensures control reliability and machine test signal allows the machine control system to confirm proper operation of the light curtain safety outputs.
