The muting arm set provides a crossbeam sensing arrangement using two through-beam multi-beam sensors. The sensors are positioned to monitor the movement of suitable goods through a safeguarded machine area.
The less-than-5 m monitoring range provides installation flexibility for suitable machine entrances, conveyor systems and material-transfer points where a longer sensing distance is required.
The multi-beam sensing arrangement can be useful when detecting objects or loads with varying shapes and dimensions as they pass through the monitored area.
The two multi-beam sensors are arranged crosswise to create the required detection geometry for compatible muting applications.
As suitable material passes through the monitored area, the sensor beams are interrupted according to the movement and dimensions of the transported goods. The resulting signals can be used by the compatible safety system for the defined muting sequence.
Correct sensor positioning, alignment and muting configuration are essential for reliable operation and must follow the manufacturer's installation requirements.
The muting arm set can be combined with compatible safety light curtains or safety light grids as part of a complete machine-safety installation.
It provides the sensing arrangement required for suitable material-transfer applications, helping the safety system identify intended goods movement through the protected area.
The complete safety system must be designed, configured and validated according to applicable machine-safety requirements.
The set is suitable for applications where materials or goods need to pass into or out of a safeguarded machine area without unnecessarily interrupting the safety protection function.
Typical applications include automated production lines, conveyor entrances and exits, pallet handling areas, packaging systems and machine loading or unloading points.
The two through-beam multi-beam sensors can be installed at suitable conveyor transfer points to monitor goods moving through a protected area.
The less-than-5 m monitoring range can provide additional installation flexibility for conveyor systems with wider machine entrances or longer distances between the sensing components.
The muting arm set can be used at suitable machine loading and unloading points where materials need to enter or leave a safeguarded zone.
It can support automated material-flow applications when correctly integrated with compatible safety light curtains, safety controllers and machine-control systems.
