1. Point-of-Operation Guarding on Small Presses or Assembly Machines
Used to create a protective light barrier at the access point of small automated presses, riveting machines, or assembly stations. When a hand or finger (detectable object Ø25mm) breaks the 20mm pitch light beams within the 400mm protective height, the safety outputs immediately (7ms response) halt machine operation, preventing injury. The compact, ultra-slim design (30x13.2mm cross-section) allows for integration into machines with limited space, and its IP67 rating ensures durability in environments with splashing liquids or dust.
Problem SolvedPrevents operator injury by immediately stopping dangerous machine movement upon detection of an intrusion into the safeguarded area, especially where space constraints dictate a minimal safety footprint.

2. Material Infeed/Outfeed Safety for Conveyor Systems
Deployed at the entry or exit points of conveyor belts in packaging lines or material handling systems to protect personnel from moving parts or pinch points. The 400mm protective height covers typical hand and arm access, and the 0.1 to 3m operating range is suitable for various conveyor widths. Its Type 4, PLe, SIL3 rating ensures the reliability required for continuous production environments where human interaction with the conveyor is necessary for loading/unloading tasks.
Problem SolvedSafeguards operators from being caught in conveyor mechanisms or material flow, particularly during manual interaction points, by establishing a reliable and quick-acting safety zone.

3. Robotic Work Cell Entry/Exit Perimeter Guarding (Small Cells)
Provides localized perimeter guarding for smaller robotic work cells where operators might occasionally enter to clear jams or perform maintenance. The SF4C-H20-J05 can be mounted vertically or horizontally to create a safety zone. Its IP65/IP67 rating is beneficial for cells that might involve washdowns or dusty operations. The 7ms response time ensures that the robot can be safely shut down before an operator reaches a hazardous zone, complying with stringent robotic safety standards.
Problem SolvedProtects personnel from unintended contact with industrial robots in small to medium-sized work cells by creating a fast-acting, robust safety barrier that tolerates industrial environments.
