Super Slim Safety Light Curtains Offer Heavy-Duty Protection
The new SL-V Safety Light Curtain incorporates highly-visible indicators to facilitate set-up and to easily see the current operating status. The tough, slim body is space saving, and it conforms to IP-65 and IP-67 rating standards which allow the sensor to work well in harsh environments. The world's first edge-to-edge mounting and side-exit cabling allow the curtain to fit perfectly into equipment, with the cabling tucked neatly away from danger.

High Performance Rugged Photoelectric Sensors
The KEYENCE PX Series Photoelectric Sensor represents the ultimate in rugged, high-performance sensors. Sensor heads carry an IP-69K environmental rating which allows them to be subjected to high pressure (1400psi) washdown applications, even at high temperatures (176° F)! Stainless steel casing prevents damage due to vibration and shock from tools or colliding with other objects. The sensor heads are backfilled with epoxy under vacuum conditions, filling every void in the sensor head cavity...

Heavy Duty Safety Light Curtains Built Tough to Protect
The Keyence SL-CHM Safety Light Curtain Series possesses a rugged IP-65 rating, allowing it to work well in harsh environments. The sensor itself is surrounded and protected by an aluminum frame with a minimum wall thickness of 4mm (0.16"). An air gap between the sensor and the inner wall of the rigid frame helps reduce impacts that would normally be transferred straight to the curtain. The rugged construction of the SL-CHM eliminates the need to spend time and money on in-house enclosures and...
