Definition of
Differences from standard type Sensing Heights
The robust type SF4B-□G□<V2> is different from the standard type SF4B-□<V2> in the following ways:
• Sensing width (protective height) (Note 1) • Profile • Net weight • Mounting bracket • Front protection cover
• Laser alignment tool • Noncompliant with Japanese and Korean press standard (Note 2)
• Noncompliant with Korean regulations
Other specifications, input/output circuits, and options are the same as for the standard type.
Notes: 1) In the case of “When used as safety device for presses in China”, there is no change in the protective height.
2) SF4B-H□G-01<V2> does not comply with Korean press standard only.
3) In the case of “When used as safety device for presses in China” the distance between the center of the first beam axis and the center of the last
beam axis of the device becomes the protective height. For details, refer to “Definition of sensing heights” (p.645).
