The muting arm set provides a four-stage sensing arrangement using four through-beam multi-beam sensors. The multiple detection stages can monitor suitable goods as they move through a safeguarded machine entrance, exit or material-transfer point.
The less-than-5 m monitoring range provides installation flexibility for suitable conveyor systems and machine entrances where a longer sensing distance is required.
The multi-beam sensing principle can support detection of loads with different shapes and dimensions as they pass through the monitored area.
The four multi-beam sensors provide sequential detection stages for compatible muting applications.
As suitable material moves through the safeguarded area, the individual sensing stages are interrupted according to the movement of the load. The resulting sequence can provide the compatible safety system with the detection information required for the defined muting process.
Correct sensor positioning, alignment, timing and system configuration are essential for safe 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.
The four sensing stages provide controlled material detection for applications where goods need to pass through the protected area while the compatible safety system performs the defined muting function.
The complete safety system must be designed, configured and validated according to applicable machine-safety requirements.
The set is suitable for applications where goods or materials need to pass into or out of a safeguarded machine area.
Typical applications include automated production lines, conveyor entrances and exits, pallet handling, packaging systems, machine loading and unloading stations and automated material-transfer equipment.
The four 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 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 equipment.
