PANASONIC SF4D SAFETY
LIGHT CURTAINS
WE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!
anasonic launches the SF4D
safety light curtain series
with significantly improved
environmental resistance. The
rigidity of the new housing could only be
achieved by reducing the volume of the
internal part by more than 60% compared
to previous models.
P
The volume gained has been used to
strengthen the case structure, making it
more rigid without changing the outer
dimensions. Therefore, the SF4D still has
the same outside dimensions as standard
light curtains of 30mm by 28mm. The
new interior design makes the safety light
curtain more rigid and thus more robust.
The SF4D does not bend or twist as easily
when it comes into contact with other
objects.
Unique beam alignment technology
The SF4D safety light curtain is equipped
with a unique alignment technology. This
86
PECM Issue 26
function helps to adjust the beams during
installation and to control the light quality
during operation. The amount and quality
of the light received is indicated by the
LED color and a one-digit display.
The LED indicators also show whether
there is dirt on the detection surface or
whether the beams are misaligned. The
indicators are used for startup inspection
and preventative maintenances.
Very fast response time
The light curtain series SF4D is
available in three protection types –
finger, hand and arm/foot protection.
A very fast response time of less than
10ms and a special no-blind-zone design
make it easy to calculate the safe distance.
Combined with the narrow beam pitch
of the finger protection type, the quick
response time makes it possible to mount
the safety light curtain much closer to
the dangerous area than a conventional
model. All types can be freely wired to
provide either NPN or PNP transistor
outputs.
