3. Product Description
The SEFG safety light curtain is a piece of electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) used to safeguard
danger points, danger zones and accesses to machines.
The ESPE monitors the safety field between the emitter and the receiver.
When an object penetrates the safety field and one or multiple beams are interrupted, a switch command is
triggered on both safety outputs. Together with the downstream evaluation, this prevents a hazardous motion
from being initiated or interrupts an action that has already been initiated.
Objects that protrude into the safety field on the system side can be hidden in blanking operating modes.
The ESPE consists of the following components:
