The Panasonic SF4C series has been designed to offer a safeguarding solution for machines to make them safe fort he orperators without sacrificing productivity. The ultra-slim size and shape of the SF4C series (thinnest product in the industry with 13mm!!) allow it to fit efficiently into small machinery while maximizing the usable working space for the equipment operator.
The Panasonic SF4C series has been designed to offer a safeguarding solution for machines to make them safe fort he orperators without sacrificing productivity. The ultra-slim size and shape of the SF4C series (thinnest product in the industry with 13mm!!) allow it to fit efficiently into small machinery while maximizing the usable working space for the equipment operator. SF4C is the industry’s first ultra-slim safety light curtain with large LED bars on each side of the light curtain. The LED bars provide a widely visible indicator that can be customized for various applications with the help of independent external inputs. The indicator can be used as an operation indicator, as an error indicator or as a muting lamp.
