Schmersal SLB440 Series Light Beam Receiver, 1 Beam, 15m Max Range, M12 Plug, IP67, Type 4

The Schmersal SLB440-R-1-ST-H-EH is a high-performance light beam receiver featuring a single beam barrier for industrial safety applications. Engineered as part of the SLB440 series, this receiver provides a maximum scanning range of 15 meters, offering reliable protection for hazardous zones around machinery and equipment.

The receiver works in conjunction with a transmitter to form a continuous light barrier. When the light beam is interrupted by an object - such as a hand or tool - it immediately sends a stop signal, which helps prevent dangerous interactions with moving machine parts or automated equipment.

Encased in a robust aluminium enclosure, the SLB440-R-1-ST-H-EH provides resistance against corrosion and physical impacts, making it suitable for installation in demanding industrial environments such as material handling plants and oil and gas facilities.

This sensor is certified to Type 4 safety and PL e (Performance Level e) standards, meeting stringent requirements for critical safety applications. The compact dimensions (33 mm length, 27.8 mm width, 131 mm height) allow for flexible integration in setups with limited space, while the wide operating temperature range (-30°C to +50°C) ensures consistent operation even under extreme conditions.

Electrical connectivity is handled via a secure M12 plug, and LED status indicators provide immediate monitoring and troubleshooting guidance. The peak wavelength of 880 nm is optimized for accurate detection performance.

Compact dimensions enable installations in space-constrained locations. IP67 protection facilitates operation in wet or dusty environments, including damp industrial sites. Fast response time of 22 ms helps detect hazards promptly and trigger safety stops.

Energy-efficient operation, consuming less than 45 W. Suitable for material handling, oil & gas, and general industrial automation.

The receiver is intended for use in conjunction with Schmersal transmitters and is ideal for applications requiring rapid, reliable, and certified hazard detection. Its durable construction and advanced technical features make it an excellent solution for safety automation, ensuring compliant operation and minimization of risk in workspace environments.
