(ISO 13855)Ultra-slim Safety Light Curtain Type 4 SF4C SERIES 578 Can be used in a variety of applications for simplified equipment Large multi-purpose indicator FIBER SENSORS The bright LED indicators located in the center of both Green LASER Green Red / Red SENSORS sides of each safety light curtain can be illuminated by using external inputs. There is no need for setting up a PHOTOELECTRIC separate indicator, so that equipment is consolidated. SENSORS * The lighting conditions of SF4C series can be changed by using a MICRO PHOTOELECTRIC handy-controller SFC-HC (optional). It is possible to actuate the lighting SENSORS together with internal operation, regardless of connection of the large AREA multi-purpose indicator input wires.

HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACES ENERGY Beam-axis alignment indicators help to reduce startup time MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS The beam channels of the safety light curtain are displayed in four blocks so that FA COMPONENTS incident light position is shown at a glance. When the beam channel at the bottommost channel (or topmost channel), which is used as a reference for beam-axis alignments, is Beam-axis MACHINE VISION correctly aligned, the LED blinks red. After this, each block lights red as the beam axes SYSTEMS alignment successively become aligned. When all channel beam axes are aligned, all LEDs light indicator UV CURING green. The display also has a stability indicator (STB) added so that setup can be carried SYSTEMS out with greater stability. A single model supports both PNP and NPN polarities reducing model numbers PNP transistor output and NPN transistor output are combined in a single model. Overseas equipment that uses Selection Guide PNP, replacement with NPN sensors, factories that are positively grounded, and transfer of equipment overseas are Safety Light all situations where the control circuits for a single model are suitable for use worldwide. Curtains Safety Control Units Lightweight Mutual interference is reduced without Safety Components needing for interference prevention lines The SF4C series is made of resin that is approx. 45 % lighter than the conventional aluminum case type. The ELCA (Extraneous Light Check & Avoid) function SF4D Its lightweight body eases the burden on the mounting automatically shifts the scan timing in order to avoid SF4B/ surface of the equipment and contributes to overall SF4B-G interference. reduced weight during equipment transportation or SF4B-C overseas shipment. Material suitable for manufacturing a secondary battery SF4C * Except the cable part Mounting bracket: BSF4-AH80 SF4C body is made of resin SUS304 IP67 protection structure SF2B and the mounting bracket is made of Stainless Steel Mounting screw: SF2C An IP67 (IEC) rating is achieved even in an ultra-slim SUSXM7* (SUS), so materials used Definition of resin body by using a laser welding method. Sensing Heights are limited. Suitable for manufacturing secondary Body case: A fast response time for all models Polycarbonate alloy batteries or for food production equipment. * Effective from production in SF4C-H: 7 ms*, SF4C-F: 9 ms* November 2010. The SF4C series reduces the safety distance as well Reducing the number of malfunctions as the calculation work required for the safety distance among models with different beam channels. caused by extraneous light * When connecting safety sensors (safety light curtains, etc) to the safety input,the response time will be the total time of connected units. Double scanning method and retry processing are effective in eliminating the effects of extraneous light.
