Specifically designed for use in low to medium risk applications, it offers the robust build quality and reliability you expect from Guardscan, but at a substantially lower cost.
It saves you money by only providing the features and benefits you really need and offers a cost-effective alternative for category 3 situations, as defined by EN954-1 (EN61496 Type 2), where the advanced capabilities of the company's B Series light curtain system are not required.
It also offers additional benefits such as redundant category 3 outputs which make the GS-120 easier to interface than a category 2 system, as there is no need for an automatic periodic test and evaluation to ensure its safety integrity.
The GS-120 is also available with cross-monitored PNP outputs or AS-Interface compatible, volt-free, solid-state relay outputs, making the GS-120 suitable for almost any type of interface.
In addition to the standard LED displays, the Guardscan GS-120 light curtain system has an optional alphanumeric diagnostic display.
This diagnostic display gives information about the operating mode, output status, obstructed beam, etc or identification of external faults like short-circuited outputs.
Available in a variety of curtain lengths from 200mm to 1800mm, with detection capabilities of either 30 or 70mm, the GS-120 is ideal for detecting hands or torsos. Request a free brochure from LC Automation ...
