TE Connectivity safety range

TE Connectivity provides a safety range designed to ensure the protection of humans, machinery, and the environment. These reliable solutions provide a large coverage of safety requirements in the fields of industrial automation, robotics, and machinery. The TE safety range is composed of SLC light curtains that offer reliable sensing and monitoring of functional safety and SR safety relays that make the interface between safety light curtains or OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) and control circuits or equipment of the machine or plant.

LIGHT CURTAINS

Safety light curtains provide reliable and cost-effective access protection for hazardous points and hazardous areas. Depending on the variant, different machine functions are integrated or can be selected via safe control solutions.

Features

• Finger, hand and body protection
• Includes models with integrated safety functions such as self-monitoring static outputs, control of external contactors (EDM), and selectable automatic or manual restart. 2 safety PNP static outputs
• The resolution of a light curtain is the minimum size of an object that, placed into the controlled area
• Fast and easy termination, flexibility
• High level safety protection

Applications

• Automation controls
• Semi conductor machinery

SAFETY RELAYS

The safety relays are a dedicated interface between safety light curtains, equipped with self-controlled safety static outputs, and control circuits of the machine or plant.
