New long-distance optical system

New high power optical system provides stable operation even over long distances. 

Easy to install, setup, use, and maintain

Digital indicator with a numeric display of light incidence margin makes beam axis adjustment and preventive maintenance simple. 

Ultra-fast response time

The OFF response time of the control outputs (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) is 10 ms or less, the fastest class in the industry. 

Easy add-on IO-LINK Unit

Continuous data monitoring

No dead-zone

Makes safe distance calculations easy. 

Easy to attach/ remove cable

The cable can be attached & detached after the safety light curtain is installed on the equipment and allows for easy replacement in the event of cable damage.

Slim and robust unit body

The SF4D Series features a downsized internal unit and increased case thickness to provide high performance and high reliability while maintaining the installation and wiring compatibility with the previous models. 

                                            

High power optical system for long distance setup

By increasing the power of the emitter element, minimizing deviations among fiber sensor elements, and redesigning the emitter element layout and structure, the SF4D Series' new high power optical system offers stable operation even for long distance set up. 

                                          

Liquid and dust resistant

The SF4D Series unity structure prevents the entry of not only water but also coolant and other liquids, as well as airborne particles, and is IP67 and IP65 rated. 

                                          

User friendly display and indicators

A digital indicator with a numeric display of light incidence margin facilitates beam axis adjustment and preventative maintenance. The indicators show stable light incidence status and notify various conditions. 

                                          
                                                                      

Indicator for improved work efficiency

Indicators for beam axis adjustment, application, and stable light incidence improve work efficiency and activities ranging from daily equipment operation to installation and maintenance. 

                                          

Fastest response time in the industry

The OFF response time of the control outputs of the SF4D Series is 10 ms or less, the fasted class in the industry. The SF4D series contributes to the reduction of equipment size.

                                          

Easy attachment of front access cable

The front cable can be easily attached and detached after the safety light curtain is installed on the equipment and allows for easy replacement in the event of damage. 

                                          

Series connection

Connect up to five units in a series and increase the maximum number of beams to 256 to provide extra convenience when installing additional equipment, when increasing the detection width, and when using one system for protection of multiple locations. 

                                          

Flexible synchronization selection

When choosing and installing a safety light curtain, the synchronization method and cable can be selected flexibly according to the customer's specific application and needs, such as the basic configuration or safety enhanced configuration with improved operability. 

                                          

Specifications for global use

The SF4D Series specifications comply with global standards for use anywhere in the world.
