Automatic cascading allows several light curtains to easily be connected in series. The S4B light curtains support two coded scan signals to avoid signal overlaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexible application thanks to long range and wide variety of models<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The large range of up to 12 meters enables use in a variety of applications, including assembly workstations, packaging lines and robot cells. The S4B devices are available with resolutions of 14 or 30 millimeters. The monitoring field heights of the 14 mm devices range from 300 to 1,200 millimeters, and from 300 to 1,800 millimeters for the 30 mm devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turck.de\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">turck.de<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turck is expanding its safety portfolio with the S4B high-performance safety light curtain from its partner Banner Engineering.
