Light Curtains
For guarding areas where gates or guards are impractical or undesired
XUSL Type 4 light curtains provide point of operation protection for large areas without the need for gates or guards, allowing excellent visibility of the machine or process and free access to the machine while providing protection for personnel. Light curtains are made up of an array of infrared light beams to form a protected area. Whenever one or more of the light beams is broken, the light curtain sends a stop signal to the machine safety control circuit.
XUSL light curtains are available in 2 box, 3 box, and 3 box flexible systems. Choose the one that best meets your application requirements. All versions are available in either 14 mm or 30 mm minimum object sensitivity (MOS). Fixed and floating blanking is standard on all devices as well.

XUSLMS Flexible Light Curtain (3 Box)
Flexible light curtains are used where two or more planes need to be monitored for protection. Flexible systems are preferred over a single system with mirrors since they are easier to set-up and are much easier to keep in alignment. Flexible systems also provide more unobstructed open area for work functions than separate light curtain systems or systems with mirrors.

XUSLT 2 Box Light Curtain
Two box light curtains are ideal for installations where it is desirable to mount and wire only two components, transmitter and receiver. These devices are self-contained and the receiver provides the safety outputs. A separate control box is not required, reducing installation time and hardware.
Features and Benefits
|
14 & 30 mm minimum object sensitivity (MOS)
|
|
2 box (transmitter & receiver)
|
|
No controller (no interconnection between transmitter & receiver)
|
|
14 mm MOS protection heights: 263–1394 mm (10.4"–54.9")
|
|
14 mm MOS sensing range: 7.5 m (24.5')
|
|
30 mm MOS protection heights: 351–2095 mm (13.8"–82.6")
|
|
30 mm MOS sensing range: 9 m or 20 m
(29.5' or 65')
|
|
35 x 50 mm housing size (1.38" x 1.97")
|
|
24 Vdc supply voltage
|
|
Broken Beam Indicators for EVERY beam on ALL devices
|
|
Male connector pigtails provided.
|
|
Female connector cables sold separately
(10 m, 15 m, and 30 m)
|
XUSLM 3 Box Light Curtain
Three box light curtains are used in installations that require the smallest possible footprint for the transmitter and receiver. The footprint can be smaller because much of the logic and all outputs for the light curtain are housed in a third box (or controller). The third box provides power to both the transmitter and receiver.
Features and Benefits
|
14 & 30 mm minimum object sensitivity (MOS)
|
|
3 box (transmitter, receiver & controller)
|
|
14 mm MOS protection heights: 159–1809 mm (6.26"–71.22")
|
|
14 mm MOS sensing range: 4.5 m (15")
|
|
30 mm MOS protection heights: 159–1809 mm (6.26"–71.22")
|
|
30 mm MOS sensing range: 7 m or 14 m
(23' or 46')
|
|
