Product Overview
The CT6 Safety Light Curtain is certified by TÜV and complies with international machinery safety standards including EN/IEC 61496-1/-2 and ISO 13849-1/-2, achieving safety levels of Cat. 4, Type 4, PL e and SIL 3. It supports the official TÜV MARK, providing authoritative certification, global compliance, and reliable safety protection for industrial automation equipment. The CT6 series supports both optical synchronization and wire synchronization to adapt to complex on-site requirements, and enables convenient host computer configuration via RS485 communication. By connecting expansion modules, up to 4 sets of light curtains can be cascaded, supporting "serial configuration" for increased detection height, as well as "L-shaped configuration" and "U-shaped configuration" for multi-sided protection. This simplifies installation and wiring while reducing costs for users.
Advantages
Dual-Mode Synchronization for Enhanced Noise Immunity: Supports both wire synchronization and optical synchronization modes. With excellent resistance to optical and electromagnetic interference, it operates reliably in complex industrial environments.
Smart Communication & Flexible Configuration: Equipped with a stable and reliable RS485 industrial communication interface and a visual host computer software. Configurable floating and fixed blanking functions enable precise adaptation to complex scenarios such as material pass-through and tooling avoidance.
Efficient Cascading & Cost-Effective Design: Supports cascading of up to 4 sets of light curtains via expansion modules. Simple cascading operation greatly simplifies installation and wiring, saves on-site space, and effectively reduces procurement and deployment costs in multi-device applications.
Light Intensity Indication: Directly displays the received light signal strength to accurately feedback the optical path status. Enables fast alignment, optical path anomaly warnings, and visual troubleshooting, significantly improving installation efficiency and operational reliability.
Industrial-Grade Mechanical Reliability: Built with reinforced frame support for high mechanical strength. Offers excellent shock and vibration resistance to withstand harsh industrial environments.
High-level Protection Performance: Achieves IP65/IP67 ratings with outstanding water and dust resistance, ensuring reliable performance in demanding conditions.
Flexible Installation Compatibility: Includes high-strength mounting brackets supporting multiple installation methods. Quickly adapts to different equipment and space layouts for fast and efficient deployment.
Quantifiable Safety: Supported by robust MTTFd and MTTF data, enabling "visible safety" to provide quantifiable reliability assurance for long-term stable equipment operation.
