Product catalog summary
Introduction
Contrinex's Safetinex product line provides advanced safety solutions for personnel and machinery, including Type 4 devices for finger, hand, and access protection, and Type 2 devices for hand protection. These products adhere to international safety standards and are certified for use in the EU, USA, and other regions.
Specifications
Safetinex products feature safety light curtains and access control barriers with various protective heights and operating ranges. Type 4 devices offer high reliability for critical applications like machine tools and robots, while Type 2 devices are cost-effective for less critical uses.
Safety Systems
These systems utilize optical protection to halt machines when a person enters a hazardous area. They are equipped with fail-safe systems and self-control for high reliability, designed for easy installation and operation with quick response times and robust construction.
Operating Principle
Safetinex devices use infrared beams to detect intrusions, stopping machines immediately. They consist of a sender and receiver unit with optical synchronization and are protected against overloads and short-circuits.
Applications
These products are used in laser cutting machines, pick-and-place robots, and packaging machines, providing effective protection without obstructing machine access.
Advantages
Key advantages include short response times, long operating distances, compliance with industry standards, and robust design, ensuring a comfortable work environment.
Technical Data
Light curtains have a resolution of 14 mm for finger protection and 30 mm for hand protection, with protective heights up to 1827 mm. They operate at 24 VDC and are certified to Category 4, PL e standards.
Technical Specifications
The devices operate within a temperature range of -40 to +70°C, with a protection rating of IP 65 and IP 67. The housing is aluminum, and optical parts are PMMA. The operating range is 0.25 to 3.5 meters, with a sender wavelength of IR 950 nm.
Electrical Specifications
Supply voltage is 24 VDC ±20%, with sender current consumption at 50 mA max and receiver at 160 mA max. Output current is limited to 0.2 A per output, meeting safety level Category 4, PL e.
Type-Specific Data
Specifications include dimensions, protective heights, number of beams, current consumption, and response times. For example, Type 0150 has a total height of 251 mm and a response time of 5.2 ms.
Hand Protection Features
Hand protection light curtains have a resolution of 30 mm and an operating range of 0.25 to 12 meters, with protective heights from 279 to 1827 mm, certified by TÜV, CE, and UL.
Access Control Barriers
These barriers have beam gaps of 300, 400, or 500 mm and an operating range of 1 to 15 meters or 10 to 50 meters, with protective heights from 832 to 1532 mm.
Connection and Indicators
Devices use M12 connectors with PUR cables in lengths of 2, 5, or 10 meters. LED indicators provide status information, including power and alignment status.
Procedures and Configuration
Guidance is provided for configuring the operating range and electronic protection features, including overload and short-circuit protection.
Connection and Installation
Light curtains are equipped with standard M12 5-pole connectors, with options for M26 connectors or PUR cables. The housing features dual fixing grooves.
LED Indicators
LED indicators on sender and receiver units show power, channel selection, operating range, and alignment status.
Safety Relays
Safety relays are designed for use with electro-sensitive protective equipment, featuring SIL 3, PL e, and category 4 compliance, with manual or automatic restart options.
Application Area
Suitable for protecting people and machines in applications involving type 4 or type 2 light curtains and access control barriers.
Technical Specifications
Input nominal voltage is 24 VDC, with output features including 3 N.O. safety contacts and 1 N.C. monitoring contact. Protection includes internal PTC and VDR.
Performance and Standards
Switching capacity supports various AC and DC loads, with an electrical life of over 1.5 x 105 cycles at 5 A, 230 VAC.
Physical Characteristics
Housing is thermoplastic, designed for DIN rail mounting.
Application and Usage
Multi-functional relay suitable for protective operations with light curtains and access control barriers.
Accessories
Includes laser alignment tool and cable connectors in various configurations.
Specifications and Features
YXC-####-M## mirror columns are used for beam deflection, allowing multi-sided safeguarding without additional equipment.
Models and Applications
YXC-####-M11 models have a single large mirror, while YXC-1360-M23/M24 models have multiple smaller mirrors.
Technical Data
Columns are made from aluminum profiles with steel floor plates, featuring a powder-varnished yellow surface.
Global Presence
Contrinex operates globally with subsidiaries in multiple countries.
Contact Information
Headquarters are located in Switzerland, with contact details provided for inquiries.

Safeguarding function The resolution of the safety light curtain or access control barrier must be chosen according to the application and the required safeguarding function. It is defined as the minimum size of an object that can be reliably and safely detected at any position when placed in the protective field. The choice of a specific resolution depends on the part of the body which needs protection (finger, hand or whole body). In all cases, the primary function of the protective device is to stop the machine before the hazardous point is reached and to prevent unintentional machine start-up....

ApPLICATIONS LASER CUTTING MACHINES WITH MOVING TABLES Laser cutters with fast moving tables holding the working pieces represent a risk to machine operators. A safety light curtain can be considered to prevent people from reaching into or entering the ongoing process. In case of intrusion during a potentially dangerous phase, table movement can be stopped promptly. With a Type 4, category 4, PL e safety light curtain, the protection is very effective. In addition, a direct view onto the working process is possible with no physical barriers that complicate access to the machine or finished parts....

packaging MACHINES For the operators of fully automated packaging machines, the hazard involved is mostly slight. If the result of the risk assessment allows the use of a Type 2, category 2, PL c, SIL 1 safety light curtain, a protected machine opening can be used to interrupt the conveyor or material feeding as well as the packaging process itself as soon as an operator reaches into the protective field of the light curtain. Furthermore, the same installation can be used to detect a material jam or products that have tipped over. ü Simple wiring with standard M12 connectors ü Protection degree...
