Product Description

The VF-ZB front thin safety light curtain is built on a 32 x 20 mm profile with the optical axis at the front face, so the bars can sit flat against a machine panel or inside a narrow frame without protruding into the working area. It is the practical choice for robot cells, assembly stations and small automation where the mounting space around the opening is only a few centimetres deep, yet a genuine protective field with a 0.01 to 5 m sensing distance is required.

Key Features
  • Front-mounted thin profile: the 32 x 20 mm housing keeps the optical window on the front face for flush installation on panels and guards.
  • Space-saving construction: designed for automated equipment with limited installation space, including robot cells and compact assembly stations.
  • 0.01 to 5 m sensing distance: short-range precision for tight cells plus enough range for larger frames.
  • Four beam gaps in a thin body: 10, 20, 30 and 40 mm gaps with 15, 25, 35 and 45 mm resolution.
  • 5 m cascading: several pairs can be linked into one protective field across parallel openings.
  • Wide temperature window: rated from -25 to +60 ℃ for cold stores and unheated workshops.
  • Rotatable or fixed mounting: centre mounting holes on the front face allow quick alignment without extra brackets.

Model code VF-ZB + 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 and Hole the centre mounting hole position measured from the lower end cover. Every two additional optical axes extend H and L by 2 x beam gap.

Application and Industry Scenarios

Typical users are robot cell builders, assembly and screw-driving stations, small press and riveting machines, labeling and packaging equipment, woodworking machinery, laboratory automation and vertical storage systems. The front-face optical window also suits door frames and sliding guards where the beam must travel parallel to the panel surface, and the -25 ℃ rating opens cold-chain and outdoor enclosure projects in Northern Europe.

Selection and Installation Notes
  • Use the centre mounting holes to align the pair before tightening; a 1 mm offset is enough to lose the beam over 3 m.
  • Select 10 mm or 20 mm beam gap when the operator stands within one metre of the hazard, and 30 mm or 40 mm for greater mounting distances.
  • Keep the front window free of chips and coolant; a 5 degree incidence angle tolerance already reduces false trips from reflective surfaces.
  • For cascaded layouts, use the optical synchronization mode to avoid long synchronization wiring.
FAQ
QuestionAnswer
How thin is the installed assembly?The bar itself is 20 mm deep; with the standard front mounting the total protrusion beyond the panel is under 24 mm.
Can the curtain be mounted vertically and horizontally?Yes. The profile can be rotated, the only requirement is that the transmitter and receiver windows face each other within the alignment tolerance.
What is the difference between IP50 and IP54?IP50 protects against dust ingress only, IP54 adds splash protection; IP54 is recommended for coolant and washdown areas.
Is a mirror set available?Yes, deflection mirrors can route the field around corners and are quoted together with the pair.
Which industries use the front thin series most?Electronics assembly, small robotics, packaging and laboratory automation, where space around the opening is the limiting factor.
Packaging and Quality Assurance

Delivered as a matched pair in a reinforced carton with EPE foam, M4 screws, mounting template, cables, manual and test report. Units are function-tested with the resolution-matched test rod before packing and follow the factory 22-15-7 inspection routine, with environmental, EMC, salt-spray and vibration tests run on the production sample.
