Smartscan India Pvt. Ltd.

The 8K3 Series Safety Light Guard comprises of the Transmitter (Tx) and the Receiver (Rx) units with optional bolt on mute modules. An interface cable connects the Transmitter to the Receiver unit and the User cable provides the interface to the machine control panel. The system provides a fully integrated solution including cross-beam and parallel beam muting options all housed in a robust IP66 enclosure for harsh wet environments. Two, three and four beam models for safeguarding around the perimeter of a machine are included in the model range. These models have a scanning range of 4 - 40m.

Safeguarding pallet entry / exit zones

In most machine applications the integrated system is the ideal solution as it eliminates the need for aligning and installing additional mute sensors with all the problems such devices introduce. The mute initiating system suppresses the shut down signal from the light curtain during a pallet transfer without interruption to the machine cycle. However, should a person attempt to pass through the entry / exit area, the light curtain will instantly detect them and shut down the operation of all associated machinery.
