SG4-E INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Example 4: Milling machines
A milling machine is a machine tool used for
the shaping of metals and other solid
materials. Operator hands and body must be
protected from being dragged, entangled or
cut by the tool / spindle.
Solution: SG4-E series safety light curtain is
the best solution considering the required
safety levels and application type. When
even just one of the light curtain beams is
interrupted, the machine is immediately stopped.
Benefits: Highly reduced profile size guarantees installation flexibility for machine
dimensions.
The rotating brackets, available as accessories, ease installation.
