High resolution, ultra-slim profile safety light curtains are the ideal solution for the most challenging machine safety applications. Higher resolution (smaller beam spacing) reduces the safety mounting distance with respect to the point-of-operation hazard, while the extremely small footprint (20 mm wide by 30 mm deep) offers unsurpassed mounting flexibility.
The SLCS and SLCT series safety light curtains feature completely integrated control electronics and solid-state OSSDs – no separate control module is needed, simplifying wiring and setup. With a maximum range of 8 m, SLCS and SLCT safety light curtains are available with beam spacings of 14, 30, 60, and 90 mm.
Highlights
* Available in type 2 or type 4 versions (per IEC 61496).
* Ultra-slim housing design.
* Fully self-contained ‘2-box’ system; no separate control box needed.
* Easy to install and mount.
* Uses standard M12 micro connector cord-sets.
* Optional top-to-top mounting with no dead zone.
* Flexible 3-sided mounting.
* Innovative mounting accessories.
* Extended operating temperature range from -30 to +60°C.
Technical information
This new family of safety light curtains from Pepperl+Fuchs is available in two series:
* SLCS Series = Type 4 safety light curtain (according to IEC61496), SIL3 (according to IEC 61508), performance level PL e (according to EN ISO 13849-1).
* SLCT Series = Type 2 safety light curtain (according to IEC 61496), SIL2 (according to IEC 61508), performance level PL d (according to EN ISO 13849-1).
SLC and SLCT safety light curtains are available in various sizes to suit applications, see the table.
