Compact safety barriers

27 October 2010 Opto-Electronics

ReeR’s optoelectronic EOS 4 and EOS 2 safety barriers with a cross section of only 28 x 30 mm, are designed for applications where space and cost savings are crucial, and feature a ‘no dead zone’ on one side; this allows 90° installation while maintaining minimum 40 mm resolution.

The Type 4 SIL 3 EOS has a 30–40 mm resolution meeting IP65 and IP67 requirements, making it immune to dust penetration and water jets from any direction, as well as being resistant to the effects of immersion. EOS 2 is the Type 2 version of the EOS range. It shares the same mechanical characteristics and features as other EOS models. EOS provides a protected height of 150 to 1500 mm with a 0–12 m operating range. Start-up time when switched on is less than 2 seconds while the operating temperature range is –10°C to 55°C. All main functions are integrated and there are no blind areas in the upper part of the device.

Connection is via M12 connectors with non-shielded standard cables up to 100 m. The devices have built-in external device monitoring (EDM) and start/restart interlock functions. The EOS family is certified according to EN 61496-1-2, ISO/EN 13849-1, EN 62061 and IEC 61508.
