Function

The safety light curtain consists of a transmitter and a receiver unit. The protected area is formed by infrared light beams transmitted from the transmitter unit to the receiver unit. The spacing between the individual light beams determines the minimum obstruction size (30 mm) that can be reliably detected within the entire protected area range.
