Providing user flexibility
March 1st 2009 The new ST4 safety single beam
sensor from Panasonic Electric
Works allows users to connect up to
6 sets of sensor heads to 1 controller,
offering a high degree of flexibility.
For example, the ST4 can be used
in small openings where light
curtains cannot be installed and the
sensor heads can be freely adjusted
to make just about any area safe.
The ST4 sensor heads are
compact, about the same size as
general purpose photoelectric
sensors, simplifying potential system
switchovers. The sensor heads boast
IP67 protection and can hence be
used in environments where water
splashes.
In addition to facilitating safety
circuit designs, the control unit has
several functions that enhance
productivity, eg sensor head
diagnosis and sophisticated yet easy
muting control. More articles from Panasonic Electric Works UK Ltd: |
