As design aesthetics become as integral to machine design as functionality and performance, new demands are created for the placement and positioning of the safety equipment. These new, and often smaller, machine designs challenge OEMs when it comes to outfitting these machines with the required safety equipment.
为了帮助OEMS克服这一挑战，生病发展了Minitwin，这是一个小型安全光幕，旨在解决当前趋势越来越紧凑的趋势
machines in the electronics industry as well as general factory automation applications in the automotive and aerospace industries, pharmaceutical industry, food and beverage production, and packaging machine industry.
Housing both sender and receiver elements in its compact housing, the shortest miniTwin measures 120 mm, with lengths increasing in increments of 60 mm up to 1200 mm. The miniTwin offers resolutions of 14 mm, 24 mm and 34 mm, thus allowing the light curtain to be adapted to individual requirements.
作为最佳机器安全设计，涉及减少安全距离和生产面积尺寸的最小化，Minitwin的紧凑型外壳允许在壳体两端没有死区的安全光幕。这意味着一致的高分辨率保护磁场延伸到棒的长度，并且具有级联，保护域可以延伸超过角落。
Its compact design and functionality make the miniTwin safety light curtain suitable for every mounting type and any machine design. Cycle and equipping times can be optimized without interfering with the operator’s work process. The short response time and high resolution permit short safety distances between the light curtain and the hazardous movement. Free access and minimized safety distances accelerate processes and increase the availability of production equipment.
Minitwin壳体背面的系统插头对称地构造，可以安装在向上或向下的电缆出口安装，具体取决于特定的安装情况。级联连接和整合到
safety controller are done with a standard M12 5-pin cable.
A miniTwin safety light curtain consists of two identical miniTwin sticks of the same size. Since each miniTwin stick contains both the sender and receiver elements, the protective field is created by mounting two miniTwin sticks offset by 180° so that the sender and receiver are located opposite one another. In cascading applications, the particular system plug used (with one or two outgoing cables) defines which miniTwin stick acts as the host orguest. Once this connection is made, the sticks automatically configure themselves.
每个miniTwin棒也建立了一个集成显示with eleven colored LEDs. The information provided by this indicator concept is intuitive: constantly lit LEDs act as a status indicator, blinking LEDs show that an action is necessary and faults are signaled via a red LED.
无论是安装为独立式还是作为级联，Minitwin都可以用于：
• Profile frame mounting with two miniTwin sticks;
• L-shaped applications with four miniTwin sticks; or
•U形应用，具有六个Minitwin棒。
