The Keyence SL-V87F is a high-precision safety light curtain engineered for environments where fine detection and dependable protection are essential. As part of the advanced SL-V Series, it combines a compact optical design with robust performance, making it ideal for safeguarding operators, equipment, and delicate processes in modern manufacturing facilities.

With a detection capability of ‚àö‚àè14 mm (0.55″), the SL-V87F can identify very small objects such as fingers, tools, or slim components entering hazardous zones. This fine level of detection makes it particularly effective in high-precision industries such as electronics assembly, medical device production, and semiconductor manufacturing, where both operator safety and process quality must be maintained to the highest standards.

The curtain features a 10 mm beam axis spacing and ‚àö‚àè4 mm (0.16″) lens diameter, providing dense beam coverage that creates a reliable and uninterrupted detection grid. This minimises blind spots and ensures that even small intrusions are detected quickly and consistently. By maintaining such dense coverage, the SL-V87F provides an extra layer of security in applications where traditional spacing might not deliver sufficient sensitivity.

The working distance of 0.1 to 7 m gives the SL-V87F versatility across a wide variety of equipment and layouts. It can be mounted close to compact machines for short-range, detailed protection or installed across medium-sized equipment for broader coverage. This flexibility allows manufacturers to standardise safety solutions across diverse production environments, simplifying design and maintenance.

Installation is further simplified by the effective aperture angle of up to ¬¨¬±2.5¬¨‚àû when mounted at 3 m (98.23′) or more. This tolerance allows for slight misalignments during setup or operational vibrations without compromising performance. By reducing the precision required in installation, the SL-V87F helps minimise downtime while ensuring consistent, long-term reliability.

Powered by an infrared LED light source at 850 nm, the SL-V87F delivers stable operation with resistance to interference from surrounding ambient light. Infrared LEDs also provide extended service life and reduced maintenance requirements, making the unit both reliable and cost-effective for continuous operation in demanding industrial conditions.

Applications for the SL-V87F include safeguarding workstations, conveyor systems, and automated machinery in industries such as automotive, electronics, precision machining, and packaging. Its combination of fine detection, robust coverage, and durable performance ensures operators are protected while maintaining smooth production processes.

In summary, the Keyence SL-V87F delivers fine ‚àö‚àè14 mm detection, dense beam coverage, adaptable working distances, and reliable infrared LED performance. It is a trusted safety solution designed to meet the needs of industries where accuracy, durability, and operator protection are paramount.
