Connecting to the light curtain is done using plug-in connections, which shorten setup and replacement time. |
A spring method is used for the terminal blocks for connections other than to the light curtain. There is no need to control tightening torques for these terminal blocks. |
Removable terminal blocks reduce the work required for reconnecting wiring during maintenance. |
The strong metal enclosure has a built-in safety relay. It has an IP65 protective structure, so that it can be set up individually without the need to be inserted into a control panel. |
22.5 mm 0.886 in thickness, so it can even be inserted into narrow spaces inside panels. |
It is possible to build muting control circuits using a stand-alone light curtain from the SF4B series. The newly-released SF-C14EX application expansion unit allows the light curtain, muting sensors, and muting lamps to be connected together directly, so that muting control circuits can be built easily.
・Three safety circuit systems packaged into a single unit!
Three safety circuit systems: 1. Light curtain output circuit, 2. Muting control circuit, and 3. Emergency stop circuit are packaged into a single unit.
Functions that require multiple safety relay units and muting control units can be concentrated into a single unit, which results in large space savings, less wiring, and less installation work.
・High-speed response 14 ms (Including light curtain)
High-speed response has been achieved due to the adoption of the semiconductor output. This avoids the response delays that occur when using more than one safety relay unit, greatly reduces the light curtain safety distance, and improves ease of working.
Of course, it is not necessary to exchange the safety relays within the unit anymore, which contributes to the reduction of running cost.
SF-C14EX controls the motors that use muting control (robots) and the motors that do not use muting control (turntables) with a single unit. |
If one of the two muting lamps that are connected to the unit blows, a warning outout is released. It is possible to replace the lamp before both lamps blow and the equipment stops. In addition, auxiliary output that is linked to the muting function, override function, and light curtain control output is also available. |
If a problem should occur, the same output (OFF signal) as if an object has been detected will be maintained in order to ensure safety, and the details of the error will appear on the digital display. |
A single model can be used for PNP / NPN input switching, reducing the number of parts that are needed to be registered.
