The VF-B slim safety light curtain answers the most common request from injection molding, servo press and automation integrators: a compact 30 x 30 mm profile that still delivers full protective height and a solid 5 m cascade. The slim aluminium extrusion fits inside machine frames and guard doors where a 50 mm housing would foul the tooling, while the yellow anodized finish (silver optional) keeps the protective field visible on the shop floor and matches the safety colour convention used by European and Southeast Asian factories.

Model code VF-B + beam count + beam-gap letter (A = 10 mm, B = 20 mm, C = 30 mm, D = 40 mm). H is the protective height, L the total housing length including end covers. Each additional pair of optical axes adds 2 x beam gap to both dimensions.
Application and Industry ScenariosThe slim body is specified for injection molding machines, hydraulic and pneumatic presses, servo presses, packaging lines, labeling and filling equipment, robot cells with restricted frame space, vending and storage equipment, and three-dimensional garages. Integrators in Germany, Italy, Poland, Vietnam and Thailand use the series when a machine frame has already been designed around a narrow guard channel and a later safety upgrade must not require mechanical rework.
Selection and Installation Notes| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How does the VF-B differ from the VF-A? | The VF-B uses a 30 x 30 mm slim housing with a 5 m cascade for medium automation, while the VF-A uses a 50 x 35 mm impact-resistant housing with a 30 m cascade for large equipment. |
| Can the yellow housing be supplied in silver? | Yes. Silver anodized is a standard alternative and can be mixed within one order. |
| What cable length comes with the set? | A 2.5 m transmitter cable and a 3.5 m receiver cable are included; longer cables can be quoted. |
| Is a muting function available? | Muting is handled by the machine controller through the NC/NO outputs; the curtain itself provides clean transistor outputs for that purpose. |
| How is the unit tested before shipment? | Each pair is powered, aligned and function-tested with an opaque test rod matched to its resolution, then packed with a test report. |
The set is delivered as a matched transmitter and receiver pair in a reinforced carton with EPE foam, two side brackets, M6 screws, cables, a manual and a test report. Cartons can be palletized for container shipment. Production follows the same 22 incoming inspections, 15 in-process quality controls and 7 OBA checks used across the VIFAR range, with radio-wave interference, electrostatic, salt-spray and vibration tests performed on the production sample.
