Product Description

The VF-A universal safety light curtain is the heavy-duty reference model of the VIFAR range. A 50 x 35 mm anodized aluminium extrusion carries the optical boards in a rigid closed profile that resists impact, vibration and electrical noise on press brakes, stamping centres and large forming equipment. Four beam gaps, protection heights from 60 to 1880 mm and a 30 m cascading capability let one series guard an entire production cell without mixing product families, which simplifies spare-part stock for European, North American and Southeast Asian machine builders.

Key Features
  • 30 m cascading capability: up to eight transmitter and receiver pairs can be linked as one protective field for super-large equipment, gantries and multi-station transfer lines.
  • Selectable synchronization: line synchronization for compact cabinets and optical synchronization for long runs where the transmitter and receiver are powered from different supply lines.
  • Four beam gaps, four resolutions: 10, 20, 30 and 40 mm gaps with 15, 25, 35 and 45 mm detection capability cover finger, hand, wrist and body protection duties with one part number family.
  • Multiple output configurations: PNP or NPN with NC, NO or combined NPN/PNP transistor outputs, so the curtain can drive safety relays, PLC safety inputs or dedicated controllers without extra interface boards.
  • 5 ms response time: fast detection keeps the calculated safety distance short and allows the curtain to be mounted close to the hazard on high-cycle presses.
  • Press-duty housing: the aluminium profile with 22 mm upper and 20 mm lower blind areas takes side brackets, punch-press brackets or T-screw mounts for retrofit work.
  • Process-controlled quality: 22 incoming-material inspections and 15 in-process quality gates per unit, followed by OBA and OQA checks before packing.

Model code VF-A + beam count + beam-gap letter (A = 10 mm, B = 20 mm, C = 30 mm, D = 40 mm). H is the protective height and L is the total housing length including both end covers. Every two additional optical axes add 2 x beam gap to H and L, so any intermediate height inside the tabulated range can be quoted without a new drawing.

Application and Industry Scenarios

Typical installations include power presses and press brakes, stamping and deep-drawing cells, hydraulic and pneumatic presses, robotic welding cells, palletizers, shearing machines, bending centres, transfer lines, three-dimensional parking systems and perimeter guarding around automated storage. The long protective distance and 30 m cascade make the series suitable for wide openings where a single pair cannot span the hazard, and for retrofit projects in Europe and Southeast Asia where an existing machine guard has to be upgraded to a Type 4 barrier without changing the machine frame.

Selection and Installation Notes
  • Select the resolution from the hazard: 15 mm for finger detection, 25 mm for hand detection, 35 mm for wrist and 45 mm for body detection.
  • Choose the beam gap by installation distance from the danger zone: 10 mm gap where the operator stands close, 20 mm for common guarding, 30 mm and 40 mm where the curtain is mounted further away.
  • Calculate the minimum safety distance with the machine stopping time plus the 5 ms curtain response, and confirm it with the risk assessment before installation.
  • Use optical synchronization when the transmitter and receiver must be supplied from separate power lines, and line synchronization for short cable runs inside one cabinet.
FAQ
QuestionAnswer
Can one light curtain protect several openings?Yes. Up to 30 m of cascading is supported, so several pairs can be wired as one protective field and evaluated by a single safety relay.
Which output type should a European machine builder order?PNP is the usual choice for European and North American safety relays and PLC safety inputs; NPN is common for Asian control cabinets. Both are available from the same series.
Is a mirror column needed for U-shaped guards?Yes, deflection mirrors can be added to route the beam around corners; the optical synchronization mode is recommended for such layouts.
What is the delivery time for non-standard heights?Standard heights ship in 7 to 15 days. Custom lengths inside the 60 to 1880 mm range are produced on the same line and normally add three working days.
Are certificates supplied with the shipment?Each set is shipped with a CE declaration, wiring diagram, mounting manual and test report; ISO9001 and RoHS documents are provided on request.
Packaging and Quality Assurance

Every set is packed as a transmitter and receiver pair in a rigid carton with EPE foam, together with two mounting brackets, M6 screws, signal cables, a manual and a test report. Cartons are export-grade and can be palletized for container loading. Each unit passes 22 incoming-material inspections, 15 in-process quality controls and 7 OBA checks before OQA release, and the factory runs environmental, radio-wave interference, electrostatic, housing-strength, RoHS, salt-spray and outdoor vibration tests on the production sample.
