Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IFM OY042S light curtain used for?

The IFM OY042S light curtain is used for hand detection in industrial safety applications. It creates an invisible infrared barrier to detect operator presence near hazardous machinery, helping prevent accidents. Typical uses include guarding press brakes, robotic cells, and assembly lines where personnel need protection without physical guards.

What are the specifications of the IFM OY042S light curtain?

The IFM OY042S light curtain operates at 24V DC with 10 beams spaced 30 mm apart, providing a 310 mm protected height. It uses a 950 nm IR LED emitter, draws 400 mA, and connects via M12 connectors. The unit is not rated for specific safety categories and includes a 100 m cable length.

Where to buy the IFM OY042S light curtain worldwide?
