Light curtains for error-free shelf control
The Light Curtains function according to the retro-reflex principle, meaning that transmitter and receiver are integrated into the same housing and need a reflector in order to function. The light curtains feature a reflector foil pre-mounted to the back of the sensor´s housing and serves as reflector for the neighboring light curtain. This reduces installation and wiring costs. An integrated two-color job display (green/red) indicates a correct or respectively incorrect parts-picking process to the user. It is clearly visible at a 360-degree radius to the user and makes a diagnosis possible even when the actual control panel is not visible. The job display can be switched over from blink mode to shine mode, and the output can be switched over from NO to NC. The respective functions are configured from a single push-button via the Teach key.
The units come in a robust aluminium housing, they work with visible red light in a range of 2,000mm. With metering panel heights of 120, 270 and 420mm and a beam spacing of 30mm, the Light Curtains are suitable for use in storage locations as well as for commissioning tasks in the logistics and automotive industries.
