Competitive pricing, easy installation and versatility are the hallmarks of the new Preventa XUS LN and XUS LP safety light curtains from Telemecanique, a brand of Schneider Electric.
With the addition of these new products to the existing Telemecanique range, users now have a single source of supply not only for a truly comprehensive family of light curtains, but also of safety controllers and modules to complement them.
The new Preventa light curtains feature compact construction, allowing them to be accommodated easily even where space is restricted, and are supported by a newly expanded range of accessories, which includes glass and stainless-steel 90 degree mirrors, and muting modules.
Designed for hand detection, Preventa XUS LN Type 2 light curtains have a beam spacing of 30mm and a detection distance of 0.3m to 15m.
They are available with protection heights from 150mm to 1,500mm.
All sizes incorporate dual alignment assistance LEDs, and provide two PNP safety outputs.
For body detection, the new Preventa XUS LP Type 4 light curtain are available with from one to six beams, and offer detection distances of 0.8m to 8m with passive receivers, or either 0.8m to 20m or 0.8m to 70m with active receivers.
Protection heights range from 750mm to 1,800mm and single beam.
All models have individual LEDs to confirm the correct alignment of each beam, making installation fast and straightforward.
XUS LP safety light curtains provide two PNP safety outputs, and one PNP alarm output.
They also feature an MTS test input.
Selecting Preventa light curtains and designing installations which use them are made easy by the Telemecanique PAD (Protect Area Design) software package.
Compatible with any modern PC, PAD features a convenient and intuitive graphical interface which allows users to create or modify a safe working environment in the vicinity of a potentially dangerous machine or process.
After selection of the control system category and dimensions of the machine, PAD takes into account reaction time and approach topology to calculate the safety distance and display the optimal safety detection solution.
It also creates a quantified list of products and accessories to be used.
Also available from Telemecanique, in addition to the new XUS LN and XUS LP products, are XUS LT and XUS LM Type 4 light curtains for finger and hand protection, and XU2S Type 2 products which are used with XPS CM safety modules to produce versatile light-curtain solutions with individually mounted light sources and receivers for each beam.
