Multiple-Beam Light Barriers

Pepperl+Fuchs with the brand VISOLUX offers an extensive offering of multi-ray safety light grids. These self-monitoring photoelectric safety devices meet category 4 standards according to EN 954-1 or type 4 standards per EN 61496. In combination with the SLVA or SC4-8 series switching amplifiers, muting sensors and other safety devices, the SLP series safety light grids form a modular safety system, which can be configured by the user.

Several safety light grids can be connected to a switching amplifier. Different thru-beam sensors may be used as long as each pair consists of a transmitter and a receiver of the same type. Depending on the amplifier, up to 8 light grids can be controlled and monitored by one amplifier.

The amplifiers also contain the power supply for the safety light grids. The control of the transmitters and the analysis of the signals from the receivers (e.g. interruption of a light beam) likewise take place via the amplifier.

Series SLP:

The SLP series is available in different beam arrangements and operating ranges up to 65m. With the SLP-X-M series deflecting mirrors, multilateral safeguarding can be implemented.

Series SLP8-2:

The series SLP8-2 is a two-beam safety device consisting of a transceiver (transmitter and receiver in a single housing) and a mirror. With this arrangement, only one unit has to be wired.

Series SLPC:

Safety light grid SLPC series does not need an external amplifier. All functions, such as start - / restart barrier, relay monitor, etc., are integrated in the SLPC receiver.

Series SLPCM:

Safety light grid SLPCM series also does not need an external signal-converting amplifier. All functions, including the muting and emergency muting operating modes, are integrated in the receiver of the SLPCM.

Applications:

Basic application with increased violation risk. For example, access protection of palletizing systems, robots, woodworking machines, packaging machines, automatic warehouses and machine equipment.
