M40E-68A303RB0, Sick M40E Series M4000 Light Curtain Receiver, 30mm Resolution

Overview

The M4000 Advanced Curtain safety light curtain together with the UE403 muting switching amplifier, forms an efficient solution for conventional muting applications with automated material transport. It is particularly well suited when high resolutions are required due to short safety distances. Simple configuration via PC and the on-site connection of the muting signals ensure maximum availability. Various mounting adapters and innovative accessories enable flexible installation of the device and muting sensors. Integrated functions as well as status and diagnostic information enable quick commissioning and minimize unnecessary machine downtime. The modular design allows the specific coordination of device features to requirements and provides an economical solution for high machine safety.

In addition, sens:Control devices, accessories, and services complete the product offering and form packaged solutions designed specifically for industrial environments.
