Protects fingers

Panasonic has added 14 new types to its range of area and safety sensors with ultra narrow design for finger protection.Mounted at the required distance to the danger zone, eg 18mm (with 42ms for machine stop), SF4C-F series safety light curtains can be mounted directly on machines or machine systems.

Together with the SF4C-H series for hand protection, customers have 28 types at their disposal. They cover a protective height of 160 to 640mm and a protective width of 0.1 to 3m.

The series functions according to the grid principle. Features include short response time - 9ms max. for finger types and 7ms max. for hand types - and a narrow design whose cross section measures just 13 x 30mm. An integrated muting function makes an external muting unit unnecessary.
