VISION safety light curtains
Main fearures
The Vision Type 2 range of safety light curtains is the ideal solution for the protection of the majority of high-risk industrial applications in Category 2. Its features includes:
- Extremely easy connection and installation, thanks to the M12 connectors and the use of standard cables
- Integration of the main safety functions, including self monitoring of the safety circuits and, for the X models, external device monitoring (EDM) and the Start / Restart interlock function
Resolutions
The available resolutions cover every protection requirement:
- 20 – 30 – 40 mm – hand protection
- 50 – 90 mm – body protection
- 2 – 3 – 4 beams – access control
Protected heights of up to 1,8 m
Integration of the main safety functions
- Manual or automatic start/restart interlock, selectable
- Integrated feedback input for external device monitoring (EDM)
- Muting function. With additional Muting armsAdditional arms with built-in Muting crossed beams photoelectric sensors, combined with the Vision light curtains series form a one way access control system with L logic (exit only) or a bi-directional access control system with T logic (entry and exit).VISION MXL SERIESVision MXL is a range of safety light curtains with integrated Muting function. Set-up of each function can be done through main connector. No need external module. Models MXL L and MXL T are available with integrated Muting sensors.
- Cascading function. Master/slave models with built-in control functions

VISION MXL series with integrated Muting functions
Vision MXL is a range of safety light curtains with integrated Muting function
MXL and MXL U series
Both have two dedicated
inputs on the M16 connector
for connection of
external Muting sensors of
any type such as photocells,
proximity switches, limit
switches, etc.
MXL L series
The MXL L series, with 2 or 3 beams for access control, uses an original system of 2 horizontal arms (one for the emitter
and one for the receiver) with built-in, pre-wired and pre-aligned photoelectric Muting sensors.
MXL L series
The MXL T series, with 2 or 3 beams for access control, features four horizontal arms (two for the emitter and two for the
receiver) with built-in, pre-wired and pre-aligned photoelectric Muting sensors.
The VISION range
The Vision Type 2 range of safety light curtains is the ideal solution for the
protection of the majority of high-risk industrial applications in Category 2.
VISION V L – V H
- Automatic start/restart
- Vision V L operating range 0 – 6 m
Vision V H operating range 1 – 16 m
VISION VX
- Automatic or manual start/restart interlock, selectable
- Integrated feedback input for external device monitoring (EDM)
- Selectable operating range: low range 0 – 6 m, high range 1 – 18 m
VISION VX M – S
- Master/Slave models permit series connection of the light curtains
- Automatic or manual start/restart interlock, selectable
- Integrated feedback input for external device monitoring (EDM
VISION VXL
- Entry level of VISION VX models
- Automatic or manual start/restart interlock, selectable
- Integrated feedback input for external device monitoring (EDM)
- Operating range 0,3 – 8 m
VISION VX LR
- Long Range. Selectable operating range:
low range 10 – 22 m, high range 18 – 60 m - Automatic or manual start/restart interlock, selectable
- Integrated feedback input for external device monitoring (EDM)
VISION VX WT / WTH
Watertight enclosures allow light curtains and light grids to be used in a harsh working environments with exposure to water and steam. IP67 protection rate
VISION MXL – MXL U
The MXL series is recommended for Muting applications. For two-way transit of material through the gate to be controlled by the light curtain (e.g.
palletizers)
MXL U
Only for Muting applications where one-way transit (exit only) of material through the gate
is controlled by the light curtain (e.g. palletizers).
VISION MXL L
The MXL L series, with 2 or 3 beams for access control, uses an original system of 2 horizontal arms (one for the emitter and one for the receiver) with built-in, pre-wired and pre-aligned photoelectric Muting sensors.
The MXL L series manages the Muting function in one-way mode and is particularly suitable for protecting the out-feed gates of palletizing systems.
VISION MXL T
The MXL T series, with 2 or 3 beams for access control, features four horizontal arms (two for the emitter and two for the receiver) with built-in, pre-wired and pre-aligned photoelectric Muting sensors.
This ensures the maximum speed and simplicity of installation. The MXL T series manages the Muting function in two-way mode for the protection of the in-feed/out-feed gates in palletizing systems.
Typical applications
VISION is ideal for:
- Heavy-load handling
