Robust hand protection

Contrinex has developed the Safetinex YBB series of Type 2 light curtains, a contactless protective device that brings the safety of a machine stop to moderate risk applications. Typical applications for the Type 2 light curtains include metal forming or pick and place equipment, welding machines and industrial lift systems.

The light curtain offers hand protection with a resolution of 30mm, protective heights from 150 to 1827mm and an operating range of 12m. Its rugged housing and screen also provide resistance to shocks and vibrations.

This active optoelectronic protective device is also said to include high performance features, such as optical synchronisation and permanent autocontrol of the output.

Safetinex YBB series Type 2 light curtains have a protection rating of IP65 and IP67, making them suitable for applications where fluids are used. Installation is achieved by 5-pin M12 connector, alignment LED and mounting brackets are also included.
