THE ReeR EOS4 compact safety light curtain has been designed for the protection of machine tools.
According to Treotham Automation, the unit has a very small dead zone allowing it to maintain resolution up to 30mm if installed on a plan, and up to 40mm if installed at 90° against another EOS unit.
The company says the EOS4 can be used for the protection of presses, punches and dinking machines, cutters and shears, robotised areas, assembly lines and assembly machines, including those with a small size.
The units feature selectable maximum scanning distances of 4m or 12m, and have two PNP safety static outputs protected from short-circuits and overloads.
The EOS4 is available with a resolution of 30 and 40mm for hand detection; 50 and 90mm resolution for presence detection in a hazardous area; and 90 mm resolution with two, three or four beams for access control.
