TYPICAL APPLICATIONS • Paper-cutting machines • Pick-and-place robots • Light electronic assemblying machines • Good lifts • Small carousels The FF-LS equipment is an infrared multibeam device designed to protect operators working on dangerous machines. The FF-LS equipment features are ideal for the protection of work stations on small machines such as paper-cutting machines or pick-and-place robots. The permanent self-checking electronic process is based upon a microprocessor technology and meets the requirement of the IEC/EN 61496- parts 1 & 2 European standards for Type 4 electrosensitive protective equipment. It has been examined by the TÜV who granted the EC type examination certificate. The equipment consist of a pair of sensing units connected to a separate control unit via a RS-485 connection. Each sensing unit is made of a row of emitting circuits alternating with receiving circuits. These circuits are housed in an extremely small aluminium extruded profile: the cross section is only 12 mm x 19,7 mm / 0.47 in x 0.77 in. The two sensors are matched to each other by individual coding to reduce risk of cross talk with other light curtains and to improve immunity to welding splashes. The control unit supplies the sensing units, controls the correct operation of the scanning circuits and transmits the resulting commands to the machine control circuitry through its two relay outputs. The equipment can operate according to two different mode: the automatic mode, the start & restart interlock mode. In addition, the control unit is featured with a test input to trigger the output relays switching and thus check the correct operation of the final switching devices whenever needed. In case of failure, the control unit provides optical and acoustic signals to ease failure diagnostic. Type 4 per pr EN 50100 - 1/2 Approved as
