Product Highlights
  • Perimeter guarding up to 4 sides via high-quality reflector mirrors; flexible layout for robot cells and stations.
  • Fast response < 15 ms (incl. controller) for quick stop; helps meet ISO 13855 safety distance.
  • ≥10,000 Lux immunity (incidence ≥5°); strong EMC design against flicker, welding arc and stray light.
  • IP65, aluminum posts and reinforced caps; durable for harsh workshops.
  • Dual NPN/PNP outputs available; short-circuit/over-load protection and self-diagnostics.
  • Complies with IEC 61496-1/-2, EN 61496-3:2019 TYPE4, EN 13849-1 etc. (see delivered certificates).

Typical reach: 1-side ≤40 m, 2-side ≤20 m, 3-side ≤15 m, 4-side ≤12 m. Verify on site per layout.

Application Guide
LayoutTypical Use
Single side (≤40 m)Long aisles / linear access
L-shape dual side (≤20 m)Corner guarding, conveyors
U-shape triple side (≤15 m)Cell perimeter around three sides

DQSA Series Detailed Specifications

For DQSA perimeter posts the relations are: H = (n − 1) × K, L = H + Δ with Δ = 81 mm (for K=40) or 101 mm (for K=80), and reflector height I = L + 150 mm (typical). Tables below are auto-generated.

Models follow the format DQSA NN/K-H, e.g. DQSA04/40-120. Choose pedestal and mirror kits per cell layout.

Typical Applications

  • Robot cells / rotary tables: 3- or 4-side perimeter with pedestal posts and mirrors.
  • Packaging & logistics: long aisle single-side guarding up to 40 m.
  • Machinery periphery: presses, shears, palletizers; interlocked with safety relay/PLC.
  • Flexible retrofits: fast installation with pedestal kits; easy alignment via visible pointer.

Use ISO 13855 to calculate the safety distance S = K × T + C (T: machine stopping time).
