The SG2-30-030-OO-E-C is a safety light curtain manufactured by IDEC. Light curtains are safety devices used to protect personnel from injury by hazardous machinery. They create an invisible barrier of light beams, and if any beam is broken by an object or person entering the protected area, the machine is immediately stopped.
Applications:
- Power Presses: Protecting operators from moving parts of power presses.
- Robotic Cells: Ensuring personnel safety around automated robotic systems.
- Injection Molding Machines: Preventing access to the mold area during operation.
- Packaging Machinery: Safeguarding operators from moving parts in packaging lines.
- Assembly Lines: Protecting workers from automated assembly equipment.
Features:
- Robust Housing: Designed to withstand harsh industrial environments.
- Fast Response Time: Provides quick machine shutdown when a beam is broken.
- Self-Checking Function: Continuously monitors internal circuitry for faults.
- Multiple Beam Options: Available with different beam spacing for varying levels of protection.
- Easy Installation: Simple wiring and mounting for quick setup.
Benefits:
- Improved Worker Safety: Prevents injuries by immediately stopping machinery when a person enters the hazardous area.
- Increased Productivity: Allows for faster machine operation compared to physical barriers.
- Reduced Downtime: Minimizes downtime due to accidents and injuries.
- Compliance with Safety Standards: Meets or exceeds international safety standards.
- Enhanced Machine Protection: Protects machinery from damage caused by foreign objects.
Technical Specifications:
The SG2-30-030-OO-E-C likely refers to a specific configuration with a protected height of 300mm and a resolution of 30mm. The 'OO' typically refers to the output configuration and 'E' is likely the connector type. The 'C' may refer to cable length. These light curtains operate on 24V DC power. They use a solid-state output to signal the machine control system. The operating temperature range is typically between -10°C and +55°C. Refer to the IDEC datasheet for the specific model for precise details on response time, sensing range, beam spacing, and safety certifications.
