Safety Light Curtain With High-Performance Options
Safety Light Curtain With High-Performance Options
Rockwell Automation has expanded its Allen-Bradley Guardmaster GuardShield safety light curtain line with the addition of three cost-effective options. Designed to provide end users with improved functionality, configuration flexibility and installation, the new safety light curtains include the GuardShield Safe 4 with an integrated laser alignment system, the GuardShield Cascadeable Micro 400, and the GuardShield Safe 4 PAC. The new GuardShield Safe 4 safety light curtain is equipped with an integrated laser alignment system, allowing for simplified setup and installation. It is a self-contained, optically synchronised, transmitter and receiver safety pair. Available in both 14 mm and 30 mm resolutions, it is offered in a number of protective heights ranging from 120 mm up to 1920 mm, in increments of 120 mm. The GuardShield Cascadeable Micro 400 safety light curtain is a Type 4, “three-box” safety light curtain designed for small assembly machines in ambient operating environments where mounting space is limited. Offered in 14 mm and 30 mm resolutions, this SIL 3-rated safety system offers expanded functionality through the required MSR42 multifunction safety module. The GuardShield Safe 4 PAC light curtain is a self-contained, optically synchronised, “two-box” safety light curtain offering an expanded operating range. Unlike the standard GuardShield Safe 4 safety light curtain, the GuardShield Safe 4 PAC is available as a two-segment or three-segment system with an operating range of 30 metres. Available in a two-segment pair with a 600 mm protected height or a three-segment pair with a 840 mm protected height, these PAC light curtains can be used as an opto-electronic fence or for access guarding at the entry or exit end of a machine process.
