RELIABLE PROTECTION FOR YOUR INDUSTRIAL REQUIREMENTS
Optoelectronic protective devices detect interruptions in the protective field area in fractions of a second. This enables a very fast response to minimize hazards.
Safety Light Curtains
The SLC4 series from Wieland is ideal for finger and hand protection and is used to monitor safe access to machines. The SLC4 safety light curtains guarantee high availability and a reduction in machine/plant downtimes. The two different variants Base and Standard-Muting can solve standard as well as more complex applications, including muting-applications.
Safety Light Grids
Whenever large areas at machine or on the production floor need reliable and safe access protection Wieland’s series SLG4 is the perfect choice. Ranges up to 70 m can be implemented with only one single system.
FLEXIBILITY
These protective devices are extremely flexible and can be adapted to different applications. They are particularly suitable for monitoring access to machine entrances and exits as well as large hazardous areas.
FAST RESPONSE TIME
Optoelectronic protective devices detect interruptions in the protective field area in fractions of a second. This enables a very fast response to minimize hazards.
PRECISE RECOGNITION
They offer precise detection of objects and people so that security measures are only triggered if there is actual danger.
WITHOUT BARRIERS
In contrast to physical barriers such as fences or protective covers, optoelectronic protective devices do not require any structural changes to the machine or workplace. This makes installation and maintenance easier.
EXPANDABILITY
They can be used in combination with other safety sensors, such as emergency stop buttons, and safety controls to provide comprehensive protection for man and machine.
SAFETY STANDARDS
They meet international safety standards and contribute to compliance with legal regulations.

There are different types of optoelectronic protective devices that can be selected depending on the application and the specific requirements. A thorough risk assessment and collaboration with security experts are crucial to making the right choice:
SAFETY LIGHT CURTAINS TYPE 4
- A light curtain consists of a vertical or horizontal arrangement of light beams, similar to a curtain of light.
- As with a light grid, a safety signal is triggered if the light beams are interrupted.
- Light curtains are particularly suitable for protection against fingers or hands reaching in.
- They are often used to protect hazardous areas where quick and regular access for operators is required without compromising safety.
- SLC4 safety light curtains from Wieland Electric are available as base and standard muting variants and offer functions that are perfectly suited to your different applications. As all variants are based on the same platform, the SLC4 safety light curtains can be easily interchanged, e.g. for customization or retrofitting on machines.
- Configuration without software
- Zero dead zone
- All models are based on the same platform
- Cleary visible LEDs for on-site diagnostic and easy alignment
- Protective field heights from 300 up to 2100 mm

SAFETY LIGHT GRIDS
- A light grid consists of a series of light beams that are transmitted between a transmitter module and a receiver module.
- The generated beams form an invisible barrier that is constantly monitored. If this barrier is breached, this immediately triggers a safety signal that brings the machine or system to an immediate standstill.
- Light grids are often used to cover larger areas where visibility may be limited.
- In particular, they are used for access protection to prevent people, objects or vehicles from entering the protected area.
- Configuration without software
- Robust design, operating ambient temperatures from -30°C to +50°C and protection class IP67
- All models are based on the same platform
- Clearly visible LEDs for on-site diagnostics and easy alignment
- Transmitter, receiver, brackets and pigtail (already connected) included in the package
