Versatile safety light curtains offer faster commissioning

Wieland Electric's SLC series safety light curtains benefit from easy connection via standard M12 connectors, while fast installation and removal of the light guards on the machine is possible thanks to system configuration being done in the control cabinet.

Versatile safety light curtains offer faster commissioning

When using multiple systems, mutual interference is avoided by means of the adjustable range reduction feature, and the integrated double scan technology eliminates the risk of unnecessary shutdown even in harsh environments; operating temperature range for the SLC series safety light curtains is from -30 to +55degC.

Planning of safeguards is simplified and there is less type diversity because every SLC safety light curtain from 0m to the maximum range can be utilised. Setting of parameters is done without a PC or DIP switches, and is carried out through simple wiring in the control cabinet. The three-zone alignment indicator reduces assembly time and simplifies set-up. The SLC Series has a robust aluminium IP67-rated rigid housing that aids adjustment and helps to ensure reliable operation.

The clear diagnostic and status messages in the seven-segment display means shorter downtimes, while cable lengths of up to 100m with unshielded connection cables gives operational flexibility and reduced costs even under difficult EMC conditions. The beam resolutions available on the SLC Series are 14, 20, 30, 40 and 90mm, and protection field heights are from 150-1800mm. The wide range of products in the SLC series enables cost-effective protective devices to be installed in a wide variety of applications.
