New Type 4 Safety Light Curtains with integrated muting provide efficient protection of machine operators with uninterrupted automation processes!

While the need for automation safety is constant, sometimes the automation itself needs to allow the suspension of safety-related functions for designed automated processes. The new Type 4 Safety Light Curtains with integrated muting from Telemecanique Sensors address this very important need.

Modular and simple to use

The new XUSL4M Safety Light Curtains from Telemecanique Sensors come in basic or advanced models and can be fitted with a range of available muting arm options to fit your specific application. This optimized range of light curtains have embedded safety functions such as Automatic or Manual start/restart and External Device Monitoring (EDM) allowing a standalone operation (i.e. without a safety interface).

Easy to adapt and install

Many of the available muting arms for the XUSL4M Safety Light Curtains from Telemecanique Sensors come pre-built and pre-adjusted to comply with existing safety regulations. Some arms are specifically designed for high speed conveyors, while others are designed for the detection of transparent objects.

Flexible muting configurations

The new XUSL4M Safety Light Curtains from Telemecanique Sensors include free software which allows easy configuration of numerous operational muting parameters (available on advanced models).

The new XUSL4M Safety Light Curtains from Telemecanique Sensors are available in “Body” and “Hand” detection models in different protected heights. For more information on the XUSL4M Type 4 Safety Light Curtains with integrated muting from Telemecanique Sensors, please visit:
