Unlike conventional light curtain designs that make it necessary for specifiers to choose from a wide range of potentially confusing options, the MS28/MS48 range features a small number of products, each of which can be easily and quickly configured by the user to suit the needs of the application in hand.

MS28 light curtains are suitable for Type 2 applications, while MS48 products are designed for Type 4 applications, complying with EN 61946 Part 1. The series includes 14mm finger protection models, with a maximum operating range of 7m, covering protection heights from 280mm to 1800mm.  Also available are 30mm hand protection models with a maximum range of 20m, covering protection heights from 240mm to 2120mm.

The light curtains incorporate a simple switch arrangement that allows them to be set up and put into operation without the need to use any external programming equipment. Standard models feature options for external device monitoring, restart interlock, range reduction and a scan code selection option. For particularly demanding applications, a multifunctional version is available, which adds facilities for muting and for fixed and floating blanking.

Up to four M28/48 light curtains can be cascaded for segmented guarding applications.
