Features
Manufacturing sites are now required to respond to globalization and flexible production. The RFG series is a Safety light curtain that realizes a significant improvement in work efficiency while thoroughly pursuing safety with a safety design and specifications that conforms to international standards, flexibly responds to various work contents, and is equipped with everything required of a safety light curtain. This series contributes to the construction of safety systems at any manufacturing site.
- Fail-safe design meets global safety standards with the highest level of safety.
- Cope with various usage environments with a rich lineup from finger detection to arm/leg detection.
- The clear color indicators make it easy to check the status of the light curtain and to align the optical axis.
- Achieves compact design and robustness with sealed structure and enhanced environmental resistance.
- Environmentally resistant and robust structure that can be used even in harsh environments.
① Sealed structure of the cap
② Sealed structure of the housing
③ Indication of light-reception level for simple beam alignment
Color indication of beam status for quick and easy beam adjustment.
Equipped with an Area Beam Indicator (ABI) that notifies the light reception status at a glance. In addition to the ON/OFF status of the light curtain, low light intensity can be checked. The ABI also facilitates simple beam alignment for long-distance sensing. Reduce time for beam alignment and set-up.
④ The light curtain status can be checked at a glance by LED indicators
Even inexperienced operators can easily check status and replace light curtains.
No special skills required for maintenance.
Easy error diagnosis with clear color indicators.
⑤ Metal housing increases ruggedness
Eliminate dead space and ensures safety
RFG eliminates the dead space that conventionally
occurs when light curtains are connected in series
or arranged in a U-shape, making it possible to build
a system with higher safety.
Blanking functions to improve work efficiency while ensuring safety
When stationery objects (e.g., device or material) or moving materials in the sensor monitoring area interrupt beam(s) of the light curtain, press operations can be performed without compromising safety by using blanking functions (fix-blanking, floating blanking)
Floating blanking
In normal sensor operation, a signal to stop the press is output if one beam is blocked, but using this function, a stop signal is only sent when two or more beams are blocked. This is useful when it is necessary to move objects in the sensor monitoring area.
Fixed blanking
Fix blanking is a function that disables the interrupted optical axis monitoring when a specific optical axis is constantly shaded by stationary obstacles (such as equipment or materials), enabling efficient press operations without compromising safety.
*A dedicated controller (optional) is required to use this function. (Available soon)
Diverse line-up to cope with various usage environments
Select the optimal safety light curtain according to the installation environment, type of press and work content.
