Built from a thick extruded aluminum body with a narrow recessed lens surface, the GL-R safety light curtain by Keyence is protected from impacts for rugged, long lifespan.
Its housing is sealed to meet IP65 and IP67 ratings for use in harsh environments. One-line wiring allows the transmitter to be connected in series directly to the receiver for power and synchronization purposes. This simplifies wiring to a single cable, reducing installation time and the potential for wiring errors. Installation is further streamlined with pre-assembled, quick fit, heavy-duty brackets that lock into the back channel of the device’s housing by tightening two screws.
Smart features include edge to-edge detection, series connection, built-in muting and blanking, highly visible indicators, quick disconnect cable options and monitoring software.
