POSTED 05/01/2013
Designed for use in washdown applications, corrosive and other moist environments, these safety light curtains offer a reliable safeguarding solution that reduces customers’ cost of ownership. A smooth plastic PMMA housing and corrosion-resistant, stainless steel end caps and mounting brackets eliminate bacteria growth when food accumulates in grooves. Due to the rugged IP 69K housing, these safety light curtains are resistant to various chemicals, such as acetic acid, hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.
The C4000 Micro and M4000 Standard are ideal for washdown applications in dairy, chemical and meat processing industries. The M4000 Standard IP 69K features two 4-beam versions and one active/passive version with a scanning range from 0.5-4 m. The C4000 Palletizer Advanced IP 69K, which features a 30 mm resolution with a protective height of 1,050 mm, provides access protection in applications requiring transportation of goods and materials.
