IP68 Waterproof Series Safety Light Screen/Area Sensor Infrared Safety Curtain

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Safety Monitoring: Utilizes infrared light curtains and optical sensor technology to create a protective barrier for real-time intrusion detection in hazardous areas.
  • Digital Precision: Equipped with a digital communication interface and output, enabling seamless integration with automated systems for immediate response to safety breaches.

Key features

  • 1. IP68 Corrosion-Resistant Housing

  • With an IP68-rated corrosion-resistant metal body, ensure uninterrupted operation in harsh environments such as industrial workshops, outdoor areas, or wet zones. This durable design outperforms standard plastic sensors in longevity and reliability*.

  • 2. Digital Interface & Multi-Program Presets

  • With a digital communication interface and customizable presets, configure detection zones, sensitivity, and output signals to match safety protocols for machinery, gates, or automated systems. Streamline integration into smart industrial setups compared to analog sensors*.

  • 3. High-Speed Optical Detection

  • With optical sensor technology, achieve rapid object detection (e.g., 0.1-second response time*) to immediately halt machinery or trigger alarms when a person or object crosses the infrared "curtain." Outperforms slower analog sensors in critical safety scenarios.

  • 4. Versatile Industrial Safety Solutions

  • Designed for continuous operation in commercial or industrial settings, this safety curtain safeguards high-traffic areas like factory floors or conveyor systems. Its area-sensing capability covers larger zones than point sensors, reducing accident risks.

  • 5. Certified for Rigorous Standards

  • Complies with IP68 waterproof/dustproof ratings and safety certifications (e.g., CE, UL), ensuring adherence to global industrial safety regulations. Trusted for use in environments where electrical safety and environmental resistance are critical.

Product details

IP68 Waterproof Series Safety Light Screen/Area Sensor Infrared Safety Curtain

The IP68 Waterproof Series Safety Light Screen/Area Sensor Infrared Safety Curtain combines robust optical sensing technology with industrial-grade durability. Designed for environments requiring reliable object/person detection, it features a cylindrical modular design with a yellow-black color scheme for visibility and easy integration. The system uses infrared beams to create a "safety curtain" that detects interruptions, ensuring safety in machinery, gates, or hazardous zones.
