Product Introduction
Our ST4 Safety Beam Sensor Type4 PLe SIL3 is a compact safety photoelectric sensor series. It ensures safety for large machinery where safety guards are hard to install, suitable for both wide spaces and narrow hard-to-reach zones. The detection distance ranges from 0.1m up to 15m. Multiple detection heads support cascade connection with anti-interference function, enabling flexible layout. It complies with international safety standards Type4, PL e and SIL3, and holds CE, TÜV, JIS, UL, OSHA/ANSI certifications.

FAQ
Q: What benefits does the cascade design bring?
A: It supports multiple detection heads connected to one controller, saving wiring work and reducing overall component investment for multi-point safety protection.
Q: What advantages does the optical indicator system offer?
A: Clear red and green indicator lights help engineers quickly check light axis alignment and judge working status, speeding up on-site installation and commissioning.
Q: What is the advantage of its compact size?
A: The small sensor body can be installed in narrow spaces where traditional safety light curtains cannot fit, expanding available safety protection positions for your equipment.
