The miniTwin safety light curtain consists of two identical miniTwin sticks of the same size. Each miniTwin stick contains both the sender and receiver elements, each symmetrically mounted in one half of a housing. The protective field is created by mounting two miniTwin sticks offset by 180° so that the sender and receiver are located opposite one another. In the case of cascading, the particular system plug used (with one or two outgoing cables) defines which miniTwin stick acts as the host and which is the guest – and they automatically configure themselves.
The miniTwin’s miniaturization opens up new opportunities for space-saving machine integration at a time when savings in mounting space and the size of production areas are becoming increasingly important. And the ergonomic design offers more options for the optimization of work processes.
