Introducing Type 2 Ultra-slim Light Curtains!
Featuring easy installation and reduced wiring
UL , CE , CSA , TUV , Korean S Mark , UKCA Approved
UL, CSA : Certified by TÜV SÜD America Inc. (NRTL)
Features
Slim size for efficient applications
Available work space is expanded from the previous model, and productivity is improved.
Simple safety distance calculations
Recalculation of the safety distance is unnecessary for each time safety light curtain length is changed.
Safety Distance SF2C-H□ : 128 mm 5.039 in (Calculation based on ISO 13855)
Dramatically less wiring work with optical synchronization
Safety light curtain wiring consists of just five wires each for the emitter and receiver, allowing you to easily implement safety measures in about the same amount of time as with an area sensor with using optical synchronization.
Beam axis alignment made easy
The emitter has an effective aperture angle of ±5° or less for an operating range of 3 m 9.843 ft. Compared to Type 4 safety light curtains (which have an effective aperture angle of ±2.5° or less), the SF2C series is easy to align and install.
Easy installation
The standard mounting bracket is already mounted for easy installation.
Can be used in a variety of applications for simplified equipment [Large multi-purpose indicator]
The bright LED indicators located in the center of both sides of each safety light curtain can be light on / blink in orange with external inputs. There is no need for setting up a separate indicator, so that equipment is consolidated.
Light weight!
The SF2C series is made of resin that is lighter than the conventional aluminum case type*.
Its lightweight body eases the burden on the mounting surface of the equipment and contributes to overall reduced weight during equipment transportation or overseas shipment.
*Except the cable part
Protection structure IP67
An IP67 (IEC) rating is achieved even in an ultra-slim resin body using a laser welding method.
A fast response time for all models
SF2C-H□: 20 ms
The SF2C series reduces the safety distance as well as the calculation work required for the safety distance among models with different beam channels.
Material suitable for manufacturing a secondary battery
SF2C body is made of resin and the mounting bracket is made of Stainless Steel (SUS), so materials used are limited. Suitable for manufacturing secondary batteries or for food production equipment.
Order guide
Product configuration
*1 The SF2C series does not incorporate the external device monitoring function.
*2 Requires a safety circuit architecture that complies with the desired control category implemented using either an SF-C13 Control Unit, a safety relay, or other equipment.

| Standard mounting bracket |
MS-SFC-1 | Allows the safety light curtain to be mounted at the rear with one M5 hexagon-socket-head bolt. Mounting direction of the bracket can be selected between vertical or horizontal (no dead zone). (4 pcs. per set for emitter and receiver) (Note) |
| Test rod ø25 | SF4C-TR25 | Min. sensing object for regular checking (ø25 mm ø0.984 in) |
Note : The body of the safety light curtain is made of resin, so please take into account the expansion and contraction of the longitudinal dimension.
When machining mounting holes, please check the actual product.
