Description

The GuardShield Micro 400 is an economical three box (transmitter, receiver and controller) Type 4 safety light curtain offered in a small profile (15 x 20 mm (0.59 x 0.79 in.)) housing. Designed for use in benign industrial environments (IP54), this light duty safety light curtain system is targeted to the semi-conductor, micro electronic and small assembly machine markets.

Protective heights are offered from 150…1200 mm (5.91…47.2 in.) in 150 mm (5.91 in.) increments. The compact housing size allows the GuardShield Micro 400 to be mounted in areas where standard safety light curtains may not be able to be mounted due to space constraints. It is also possible to recess the GuardShield Micro 400 transmitter and receiver into machine frames.

The Micro 400 requires a dedicated controller (MSR42), which can also be used as a multi-function safety module, allowing the connection of additional safety light curtains, safety laser scanner, or any safety device with two Output Signal Switch Devices (OSSD) outputs.

There are a number of operating modes that can be configured with the MSR42. EDM, START/Restart interlock, and muting are possible with the MSR42 controller.

The Micro 400 transmitter and receiver are offered with 8-pin M12 connectors at the end of 20 inch integrated cables. The patchcords to connect the transmitter and receiver to the controller are the same and are offered in 3, 5, and 8 m (9.8, 16.4, and 26.2 ft) lengths. These patchcords are configured on one end with M12 connectors (which mate to the integrated pigtail connectors) and RJ45 connectors on the opposite end (which plug into the MSR42 controller).

The GuardShield Micro 400 is also offered in a cascadeable configuration. GuardShield Cascadeable Micro 400 safety light curtains allow the interconnection of multiple segments of the Micro 400 safety light curtain with a common pair of safety outputs. This cascadeable configurability of the GuardShield Micro 400 reduces overall system wiring and allows the GuardShield Micro 400 to be fitted into a variety of applications where the safety distances for mounting the light curtain may allow personnel to stand between the sensing field of the light curtain and the hazard or where multiple sided guarding is required and the use of corner mirrors is not possible.
