Type 4 safety light curtain
Safety light curtains are safety devices that create a virtual barrier around a hazard. These devices meet the highest safety standards of Type4, SIL3, Category4, and PLe. Integration is efficient and easy with the minimal footprint, durable housing, and options for reduced wiring. Each model achieves the high enclosure rating of IP65/IP67.
Products Lineup
The GL-V Series features full length, highly visible indicators to easily understand the light curtain's status at a glance. These indicators also provide built-in alignment assistance, making installation quick and easy. Wiring is simplified with standard M12 5-pin connectors and optional Y-connector, requiring only one cable back to the control panel. This series also has an incredibly fast response time, reducing the necessary mounting distance from the hazard. Additional features include network compatibility, no dead zones, high environmental resistance, and a durable, slim housing.

Quick Installation
Adjustable Mounting Bracket
The adjustable mounting bracket allows for swift installation by simply snapping into place, aligning, and securing with a tightening screw. Any adjustments necessary once installed, can easily be achieved.
Simplified Wiring
The GL-V is standardised with an M12 5-Pin connector. This connection makes integration simple. Any cable replacements or extensions that are necessary can be done easily.
What makes a light curtain "robust"? KEYENCE has designed a light curtain with a structure that prevents damage from parts or tools by narrowing the exposed lens area and recessing it in an impact resistant housing.
Features
STRONG - Rugged Exterior Increases Life & Decreases Downtime
The rugged metal housing and recessed lens make the GL-R resistant to twisting, vibration, and even direct impact. Additionally, its high power (49'+ of range) and increased enclosure ratings (IP65/IP67) allow the GL-R to withstand the most demanding environments.
SMART - Intelligence You Can See
Full length status indicators, integrated functionality and built-in series connection are a few of the attributes that make the GL-R Series the intelligent choice.
