Description

The Allen Bradley Guardmaster GuardShield Safe 4 PAC is an economical two box, Type 4 safety light curtain with ON/OFF functionality. This basic, guard-only operating mode, perimeter access safety light curtain has an integrated laser alignment system that simplifies the alignment of each pair of light curtains. Visible laser beams are activated by touching the finger symbol on front face of the light curtains. Positioning of the transmitter and receiver laser beams to their respective targets facilitates optimal alignment of each Safe 4 PAC pair. The integrated laser alignment system also helps with the re-alignment of pairs if units are knocked out of alignment during the course of the work process or when corner mirrors are used.

The GuardShield Safe 4 PAC is offered with two 120 mm long, 30 mm resolution optic modules spaced at 500 mm and three 120 mm long, 30 mm resolution optic modules spaced at 400 mm providing whole body detection. Designed for perimeter guarding applications, both configurations of the Safe 4 PAC have operating ranges from 5 to 30 meters which allows them to be used as opto-electronic fences. The use of corner mirrors with the Safe 4 PAC allows multiple-sided guarding in large perimeter applications. The GuardShield Safe 4 PAC is also a low cost solution for entry or exit guarding of a machine process when paired with the MSR42 muting module. The MSR42 can be configured for two-sensor muting with the Safe 4 PAC. The muting function allows material to pass through the sensing field of the Safe 4 PAC when the muting sensors are properly activated by the flow of material.

The GuardShield Safe 4 PAC, with an environmental rating of IP65, is designed to be used in a variety of applications across a broad range of industries in medium to heavy industrial environments. Offered with shock isolator kits for shock and vibration applications, the Safe 4 PAC is suited to medium- and heavy-duty applications.
