This symbol stands by a very important warning concerning the safety of persons.
Its non-observance can cause a very serious risk for the exposed personnel.
INTRODUCTION
The ADMIRAL AX BK photoelectric barrier is a multi-beam optoelectronic safety system. It
belongs to the family of Type 4 electrosensitive devices for the protection of personnel
exposed to risks arising from the use of hazardous machinery or plant, according to
standards IEC 61496-1,2 and EN 61496-1.
ADMIRAL AX BK is available in two different versions :
The ADMIRAL AX BK is a type 4 light curtain, consisting of an Emitter plus Receiver, that
integrates the floating blanking function.
The ADMIRAL AX BK is also available in a Master-Slave configuration.
A diagnostic display available on Emitter and Receiver provides the necessary information
for a correct use of the device and the evaluation of the possible operation defects.
ADMIRAL AX BK is ideal for the protection of :
Bending presses, presses, die cutting machines, punching machines, cutting and shearing
machines, assembly lines, palletization lines, etc.
If necessary, for any safety-related problems contact the competent safety
authorities or industrial associations in the country of use.
For applications in the food industry, please contact the manufacturer to ensure that
the barrier contains materials that are compatible with the chemical agents utilized.
The protective function of the optoelectronic devices is not effective in the following cases:
If the machine stopping control cannot be actuated electrically and it is not possible
to stop all dangerous machine movements immediately and at any time during the
operating cycle.
If the machine generates dangerous situations due to material being expelled or
falling from overhead.
