Portfolio completed
Pilz offers light grids as a body protection variant
Pilz completes its portfolio of light curtains: In addition to finger and hand protection, PSENopt II light curtains are now also available as body protection variants. This allows access to hazardous areas to be protected economically.
With a protective field height of up to 1,500 millimetres, PSENopt II light curtains are now suitable not only for finger and hand protection but also for body protection up to the highest safety category PL e. Thanks to their shock resistance of 50 g, PSENopt II are robust against shock, vibration and collision. This ensures the availability of the machine even in harsh industrial environments. The body-resolving light grids are suitable for ranges of up to 50 meters and safeguard access to robot cells, packaging machines or presses, for example.
Flexible in the room
Users are free to arrange the light grids wherever they want. Thanks to coding, the light grids do not interfere with each other even when they are in close proximity. This applies in particular if the transmitter unit of the first light grid pair emits beams in the direction of the receiver unit of the second light grid pair. In this case, the light grid pairs can be configured with different beam codes. The coding is integrated in all PSENopt II light grids.
To protect several sides of a danger zone, the light grids can be combined with the matching PSENopt II mirror columns. This means that up to three sides of a danger zone can be safeguarded with just one pair of light curtains and two mirror columns. In conjunction with the configurable control system PNOZmulti 2, Pilz offers an economical solution from a single source. as
