Overview

The BLG 4A is Balluff's economical Type 4 safety light curtain line for hazardous-area safeguarding, offered across finger-, hand- and body-protection resolution tiers on a shared M12-connector platform. The body-protection tier trades resolution (>315 mm — a discrete few-beam grid rather than a graded curtain) for the platform's longest range, up to 50 m. This artifact represents order code BLG0008, a 4-beam configuration at 915 mm protective field height (the family also offers BLG0006 2-beam/515mm, BLG0007 3-beam/815mm and BLG0009 4-beam/1215mm). PLe (EN ISO 13849-1) / SIL CL 3 (EN/IEC 62061), ESPE Type 4 per IEC 61496-1/-2. Semiconductor OSSD outputs, M12 4-pin (emitter) / 5-pin (receiver) connectors.
