1. Machine Guarding for Small Press Operations
This light curtain provides critical operator protection in small punching, forming, or assembly press applications by creating a safety field around the hazardous area. Its 240mm protective height is ideal for guarding access to smaller points of operation.
Problem SolvedEffectively prevents hands or fingers (detectable object Ø25 mm) from entering the dangerous zone during machine cycles, thereby mitigating the risk of crushing or shearing injuries and ensuring compliance with PLc/SIL1 safety standards.

2. Access Control for Compact Robotic Workcells
Integrated at entry/exit points of compact robotic workcells, the SF2C-H12-P ensures that industrial robots halt or enter a safe state when personnel approach or breach the safety perimeter. Its ultra-slim design is beneficial in space-constrained layouts.
Problem SolvedGuarantees personnel safety in automated environments by establishing a reliable safety interlock. The PLc/SIL1 rating ensures adherence to stringent industrial safety requirements for human-robot interaction.

3. Conveyor System Entry/Exit Obstruction Detection
The light curtain can be deployed at the entry or exit points of automated conveyor systems to detect the presence of objects or body parts, preventing potential hazards where items might fall or personnel might reach into the system.
Problem SolvedPrevents accidental entanglement or crushing hazards on conveyor lines by automatically stopping the system when an obstruction is detected. Its IP67 rating makes it resilient in environments prone to dust or liquid splashes common in material handling.
