The Keyence SL-V36H is a high-reliability safety light curtain engineered to provide consistent operator and machine protection in modern industrial environments. Designed as part of the SL-V Series, it combines fine detection capability, robust beam spacing, and flexible installation options, making it a versatile choice for safeguarding equipment and ensuring compliance with safety standards.

The SL-V36H is built to achieve a detection capability of ‚àö‚àè25 mm (0.98″), allowing it to reliably detect hands, small objects, or other potential hazards entering a protected area. This sensitivity makes it suitable for applications requiring operator protection at access points, machine guarding for presses, or safeguarding conveyor systems where objects or personnel may pass unexpectedly.

Its 20 mm beam axis spacing and ‚àö‚àè5 mm (0.20″) lens diameter provide a strong balance between coverage and efficiency. This configuration creates a dense safety grid that minimises blind spots and ensures thorough protection across the monitored zone. By maintaining consistent detection without overcomplicating alignment, the SL-V36H offers both accuracy and ease of integration.

The unit is designed to operate effectively across a working distance range of 0.1 to 9 m, providing excellent flexibility for a wide variety of industrial setups. Whether installed on compact machinery or spanning large-scale equipment, the SL-V36H adapts to its environment without compromising reliability. This wide range allows manufacturers to streamline their safety systems by using a single light curtain type for diverse equipment layouts.

To support simple installation and alignment, the SL-V36H allows for an effective aperture angle of up to ¬¨¬±2.5¬¨‚àû when mounted at 3 m (98.23′) or more. This tolerance ensures stable detection even if there are slight misalignments during setup or minor shifts caused by vibration over time. As a result, operators benefit from reduced installation time and long-term stability in production environments where efficiency is key.

The device uses an infrared LED light source operating at 850 nm, which provides dependable performance under varying ambient lighting conditions. Infrared LEDs are highly durable, offering long service life and minimal maintenance requirements. This ensures the SL-V36H continues to operate reliably with reduced downtime and cost of ownership.

Applications for the SL-V36H span across automotive assembly lines, electronics production, packaging systems, and general industrial machinery. It enhances worker safety by preventing access to hazardous zones while supporting uninterrupted workflow. Built with Keyence’s reputation for precision and durability, it delivers the performance and dependability required for today’s fast-paced industrial environments.

In summary, the Keyence SL-V36H is a versatile and durable safety light curtain, offering ‚àö‚àè25 mm detection capability, reliable beam coverage, long-range flexibility, and infrared LED stability. It provides manufacturers with a trusted safety solution that improves protection, reduces risks, and maintains operational efficiency.
