Beam Photoelectric Safety Switches by BIBUS India

Photoelectric safety switches for use in extreme application conditions

Single-beam photoelectric safety switches from SICK offer maximum safety performance. They comprise self-testing senders and receivers or testable senders and receivers combined with an evaluation unit. They have long ranges and come in a variety of types and sizes. They comply with Type 2 and/or Type 4 in acc. with EN 61496, and PL c and/or PL e in acc. with EN ISO 13849. Applications include robots, processing machinery, machining centers, palletizes, high-bay warehouses and transfer lines.

Economical, efficient multiple light beam safety devices

• Multiple light beam safety devices are electro-sensitive protective devices with two or more light beams. If one or more of the light beams is interrupted, a deactivation signal is sent to the machine so that any dangerous state on a machine or system can be stopped. A system consists of a sender and a receiver. In active/passive systems, the sender and receiver are located in a housing unit while a deflection unit on the passive side provides beam deflection.

At a glance:

• Type 2 (IEC 61496), PL c (EN ISO 13849), only in conjunction suitable testing device, e.g., Flexi Classic or Flexi Soft
• Small M18 sensors with ranges up to 10 m
• Compact M30 sensors with ranges up to 60 m
• Enclosure rating IP 67
• Temperature range from -40 °C ... 55 °C
• Metal and plastic version
• Radial optics (90° deflector mirror)
• Straightforward diagnostics and service

Your benefits:

• Easy integration due to small, compact versions with maximum range
• Directly connect to a safety controller - without a separate evaluation unit, reducing costs
• Flexible device integration makes it possible to set up individual protective fields
• Well suited to withstand extreme ambient conditions such as heat, cold or moisture
• Protection Class
• Protection class can be up to IP69K.
