ADMIRAL

The dual beams system safety light curtains

ADMIRAL: Type 4 Safety Light Curtains

The Admiral serie of Safety light curtains, with integrated Blanking functions, is the ideal solution for the protection of the majority of high-risk industrial applications.

Long Range models with 2, 3 and 4 allow beams reach a max. of 60 m, while the Dual beams models reaches the max. of 80 m.

ADMIRAL safety light curtains

Easy connection, robust construction

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:

  • 14 mm – finger protection
  • 203040 mm – hand protection
  • 5090 mm – body protection
  • 234  beams – access control

Protected heights of up to 2 m

Integration of the main safety functions

  • Manual or automatic start/restart interlock, selectable.
  • Integrated feedback input for external device monitoring (EDM)
  • Blanking function. Built-in floating blanking function with 5 configuration modes. Floating Blanking allows the detected object to move freely inside the light curtain’s protected field, under the condition that the intercepted beams are adjacent and that their number is not higher than the configured one.
  • Muting function. With additional Muting arms
    Additional arms with built-in Muting crossed beams photoelectric sensors, combined with the Admiral 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).
  • Cascading function. Master/slave models with built-in control functions
