C4000 Fusion Operating principle of the device The C4000 Palletizer and the C4000 Fusion safety light curtains provide access protection if, e.g., packages or goods on a pallet have access to a system or machine. The C4000 Fusion also provides access protection when geometrically even objects with- out undercutting have access to a system or machine.
8 % for each additional front screen. The C4000 Fusion can be operated with a deflector mirror. The deflector mirrors (see page 107f.) reduce the effective scanning range as a function of the number of deflec- tor mirrors in the light path (see Tab.
For this reason, it is possible to permit a gap of approx. 21 mm (for the C4000 Palletizer Standard) and 11 mm (for the C4000 Palletizer Advanced and C4000 Fusion). You can configure the object gap suppression function in the CDS on the C4000 (receiver).
150 mm into the protective field. Fixed blanking The C4000 Fusion safety light curtain is capable of fixed-blanking up to five areas in the protective field, e.g. to allow continued operation in spite of an obstruction such as a sup- port arm placed permanently in the light path.

At least one beam must remain without interruption between the objects. The first or the last beam of the protective field must remain free. At variance with the operating instructions for the SICK UE402 switching amplifier, you do Note not need a reset button for the teach-in function and will need a key-operated pushbutton for teach-in instead of a key-operated switch for teach-in.
1500 mm above the access plane so that a person is safely detected. The C4000 Fusion is mounted slightly at an angle in the direction in which the objects are transported. The slightly inclined position is necessary to suppress interference due to front faces on the objects that are not completely smooth.
FE Green Functional earth Functional earth For the connection of pin 9 and 10 only use cable with twisted cores, e.g. the SICK con- Notes nection cables available as accessories (see section 13.5 “Accessories” on page 116). If you do not use either a SICK switching amplifier or a SICK bus node, to improve the...
Recommendation For aligning the sender and receiver of the C4000 Palletizer use the AR60 laser alignment aid. For aligning the sender and receiver of the C4000 Fusion use the integrated AR60 laser alignment aid. 8.2.1 Alignment of the C4000 Fusion with integrated laser alignment aid The C4000 Fusion contains an internal, collimated, visible class 1 laser to help you during the alignment of the sender and receiver units.
Note Do not look into the laser outlet opening! The laser alignment aid on the C4000 Fusion sender unit is classified as class 1 (safe for the eyes) in accordance with the applicable standards. Nevertheless, as for any source WARNING that radiates energy (e.g.
Static charges cause dust particles to be attracted to the front screen. You can prevent Note this effect by using the antistatic plastic cleaner (SICK part number 5600006) and the SICK lens cloth (part number 4003353). How to clean the front screen and/or the additional front screen (accessories): Use a clean and soft brush to remove dust from the front screen.
Example: If the tolerance is 20 mm (C4000 Fusion with 20 mm resolution, no reduced resolution), the following changes are possible: If the size changes by +10 mm, then it is also allowed to change by –10 mm.
