NexBot Robotics 333-016 Safety Light Curtain 900mm

Overview

The NexBot Robotics 333-016 is a Type 4 safety light curtain designed to protect personnel from hazards associated with automated machinery and robotic work cells. This component is essential for creating safe, compliant, and productive manufacturing environments by establishing a virtual barrier that, when interrupted, sends an immediate stop signal to the machine's control system. The 333-016 model features a 900mm protective height, making it suitable for guarding common access points to robotic cells without impeding workflow. Its high-resolution 14mm beam spacing provides finger-level detection, ensuring that even small intrusions are reliably detected. This level of sensitivity is critical in applications like robotic assembly or part handling where operators may work in close proximity to the machinery. A key performance feature is its fast total response time of under 15ms, which minimizes the overall stopping distance of the protected machine, a crucial factor in safety calculations. Constructed with a rugged, anodized aluminum housing, the emitter and receiver units are rated to IP65, providing protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This durability ensures reliable operation in typical industrial environments where coolants, dust, and washdowns may be present. Integrated LED indicators on the units provide clear visual status for alignment, power, and output signal switching device (OSSD) state, which simplifies both initial setup and ongoing diagnostics, reducing downtime. This safety light curtain is ideal for a variety of industrial robotics applications, including machine tending, palletizing, automated welding, and material handling systems. It integrates with standard safety control circuits and provides dual OSSD outputs for redundant, fail-safe operation. Installation is streamlined with available mounting hardware, allowing for flexible positioning to meet the specific guarding requirements of your automated process. By implementing the 333-016 light curtain, facilities can achieve a higher level of machine safety, protect valuable personnel, and maintain compliance with international safety standards.
