Omron Scientific Technologies, Inc. provides seven safety light curtain families to solve your optical guarding needs. From compact models designed for machine locations where space is tight, to larger, robust light curtains powerful enough to guard large perimeters. Omron STI offers you a choice, because when it comes to automation safeguarding, one size does not fit all.

Supplying such an extensive array of safety light curtains and controls guarantees that Omron STI will give you an unbiased recommendation for what will work best in your particular situation. Our wide product line means you don't have to struggle to "make one fit." We don't have to force your application to fit our safety light curtain. From tight spaces to perimeter guarding, we provide the correct product for the job.

The MC4700 safety light curtain family offers the greatest number of possible configurations, more than any other safety light curtain in the world. The MC4700 safety light curtain combines fast response time with either 12, 14, 20, or 30 mm object resolutions. The protected height range and coverage of the MC4700 family is impressive. And now with the introduction of the "Jointed" MCJ4700, the first safety light curtain with an elector-mechanical joint, Omron STI's 4700 series is revolutionary. Omron STI allows you to buy just what you need to buy. The MC4700, MCF4700, and MCJ4700 can be ordered with different object resolutions within a system. The various object resolutions within a and multi-segmented systems allow you to best fit the guarding to your application, and therefore you only pay for what you need.

Safety shut-offs do not always have to involve a full machine shutdown. Smart, safe reactions to various situations provide safety without always stopping the production process. Intelligent, decentralized and integrated safety technology that is simple to operate and that reaches extremely high reaction times opens up an entirely new range of machine safety concepts.

Control reliability is mandated in U.S. and European standards for safety implemented circuits. These criteria can be met by using redundant safety-rated device outputs in conjunction with a safety relay.

Safety relays range in function from stop motion detection to 2 -hand palm button control, to dual channel input units with time-delayed outputs that provide conformity to ANSI B11.19, Section 5.1.

All safety relays carry the CE mark and are UL and C-UL listed.

Omron Scientific Technologies, Inc. safety switches are designed to work together with hinged, sliding, or lift-off guards and barriers. When the guard is opened, the power supply to the machine is disconnected
