ifm Industrial automation applications
Use in factory automation
OY series safety light grids are used to safeguard hazardous areas and protect personnel. Thanks to their slim design, they are suited for applications with limited mounting space. Depending on the protected area height light grids with 2, 3 or 4 light beams are available.
Safety light grids are optoelectronic safety devices consisting of one transmitter and one receiver. They conform to the safety requirements of type 2 / SIL 1 or type 4 / SIL 3.
Typical applications include access prevention or hazardous area monitoring of robot cells and production lines.

Active / passive system
OY series safety light grids with active / passive system are used to safeguard hazardous areas and protect personnel. The transmitter and the receiver are integrated in the housing of the active element. The passive element houses the reflecting mirrors. The electrical connection is integrated in the active element. Wiring complexity is considerably reduced.
Depending on the protected area height light grids with 2, 3 or 4 light beams are available.
Safety light grids are optoelectronic safety devices consisting of one transmitter and one receiver. They conform to the safety requirements of type 4 / SIL 3.
Typical applications include access prevention or hazardous area monitoring of robot cells and production lines.

Safety light grid with integrated muting function
The new generation of light grids allows for the muting mode without an external junction box or a muting relay being required as they are already integrated into the receiving element.
The supported muting versions are available as either crossbeam or parallel muting. Both versions allow transported material to be safely passed in or out, via the protected area. A status light, integrated into the receiver, allows for indication of the operating status.
The muting arms can easily be directly installed on the light grid and are available in two versions: either as muting arms with multi-beam sensors, similar to a miniature light grid,
or as pre-mounted mounting set with single-beam sensors. No complex installation and adjustments are necessary anymore.
In conclusion, a complete package for increased safety, configured for your application, quick and easy to mount.
Safety light grids
Safety light grids are used where hazardous areas must be secured. They are optoelectronic safety devices consisting of one transmitter and one receiver. They conform to the safety requirements of type 2 / SIL 1 or type 4 / SIL 3.
Typical applications include access prevention or hazardous area monitoring of robot cells and production lines. For food and beverage applications, units with protective tubes and high protection ratings are offered. Active / passive systems substantially reduce wiring complexity.
