The Pilz PSEN OP67-69K-030/1 is a compact and highly resilient safety light curtain developed to provide reliable operator protection in environments where cleanliness, durability, and precision are essential. As part of the PSENopt II hygiene-rated range, this model offers a combination of advanced safeguarding functionality and robust environmental protection, making it suitable for industries with stringent hygiene and safety requirements.

With a protective height of 528.5 mm, the PSEN OP67-69K-030/1 is designed for applications requiring targeted coverage of smaller machine openings or access points. This compact height makes it especially well-suited for protecting workstations, packaging systems, or production cells where hand or partial body access must be safely monitored without obstructing productivity.

The housing is constructed from PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), a material chosen for its durability, rigidity, and excellent optical properties. PMMA ensures stable transmission of the infrared beams while withstanding the wear and tear of industrial operation. Combined with Pilz’s precise alignment and detection technology, the result is a light curtain that delivers consistent safeguarding performance throughout its service life.

A defining feature of this model is its high ingress protection, with ratings of IP67 and IP69K. This makes the light curtain fully dust-tight, resistant to moisture, and capable of enduring high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns, which are common in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors. These ratings also make it suitable for environments where frequent cleaning or exposure to water is unavoidable, ensuring uninterrupted safeguarding performance even in harsh conditions.

The device’s lightweight construction (net 1400 g, gross 1550 g) supports easy installation and secure mounting, while its mechanical robustness ensures stability against vibration and external impacts. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with Pilz safety controllers and relays, forming part of a complete safeguarding system that ensures hazardous machinery is brought to a safe state the moment beams are interrupted.

Applications include food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical production, packaging machinery, and general manufacturing, particularly in areas where hygiene is a priority and space is limited. The combination of compact protective height and robust housing makes this model a flexible solution for targeted safeguarding in demanding environments.

In summary, the Pilz PSEN OP67-69K-030/1 safety light curtain delivers compact, reliable, and hygienic safeguarding. With its 528.5 mm protective height, PMMA housing, IP67/IP69K protection, and lightweight yet robust design, it is an ideal choice for industries requiring dependable operator safety under challenging conditions without compromising productivity.
