IP 67 & IP 69K
Contrinex applies stringent quality management and production principles which are reflected in
its ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 9001:2008 certification. Additionally, Contrinex is subject to several
client-based audits every year. Identical quality controls and equipment as well as staff recruit-
ment and training policies are implemented at the different production sites, thus guaranteeing
consistent product quality. The product range includes inductive, photoelectric, capacitive and
ultrasonic sensors, as well as RFID systems and Safetinex safety systems.
Safeguarding function
The resolution of the safety light curtain or access control barrier must be chosen according to
the application and the required safeguarding function. It is defined as the minimum size of an
object that can be reliably and safely detected at any position when placed in the protective
field. The choice of a specific resolution depends on the part of the body which needs protection
(finger, hand or whole body). In all cases, the primary function of the protective device is to stop
the machine before the hazardous point is reached and to prevent unintentional machine start-up.
This function must comply with the category of the safety-related components of the machine’s
control system.
Application Areas
The Safetinex YBB range is best suited where finger and hand protection is required close to the
hazardous area (point of operation). Depending on the application, a resolution of either 14 mm
(finger protection) or 30 mm (hand protection) will be advisable. Safetinex access control barriers,
on the other hand, are suitable for the protection of people potentially entering a larger dangerous
area.
Thanks to their type 4, category 4, PL e safety level, Safetinex devices can be used on equipment
requiring high protection reliability, such as machine tools, robots, hydraulic presses, automated
stock management, weaving looms, etc.

application Area
The mirror columns YXC-####-M## are used for the beam deflection of safety light curtains and
access control barriers, such as Safetinex YBB and YCA models, in order to achieve multi-sided
safeguarding of danger zones, while eliminating the need for additional light curtains or access
control barriers. Spring elements at the base of the column provide for automatic reset following
mechanical impact.
YXC-####-M11 models feature a single large mirror and are therefore suitable for use with light
curtains as well as access control barriers. YXC-1360-M23/M24, on the other hand, feature 3 or 4
smaller mirrors and may consequently only be used with access control barriers.
