Compact Light Curtain

Safety

COMPACT devices are active opto-electronic devices (AOPD), Type 4, according to the European Standards EN 61496-1, -2 respectively IEC 61496-1, -2.

The COMPACT system, which works on the transmitter-receiver principle, is available in a variety of product series, and its range of functions can be flexibly expanded by adding external interface components such as MSI or SFS 41.

In order to offer the best possible cost effectiveness for a diverse range of applications, the COMPACT is available in a variety of series. Series C30 and C14 are intended for hand and finger protection at danger points; Series C50 and C90 for the horizontal safeguarding of danger zones; and Series C300/4 - C500/2 for the perimeter guarding of danger zones. So that interlinked sensing zones can be created, COMPACT basic and sequential devices can be connected serially, allowing devices with different resolutions to be combined with up to a total of 240 light axes. All of these product series share one feature in common, however: the same technology!
