MFT Muting Unit

MFT is a muting unit with integrated photocells in the same profile type as the FOCUS Light Curtain/Grid. No additional sensors are required because the muting units contain the required components. MFT is connected directly to FOCUS with M12 connectors.

MFT contains four photocells - A1, B1, A2 and B2 arranged as shown. They are configured for installations where material is transported "in" or "out" or in both directions "in and out".

Notes: The muting sensors A and B must be placed so that the sensor A is always activated at least 3 ms before sensor B.

"D"indicates the minimum length of the material that is to actuate the muting sensors that must be maintained during the passage through the light curtain/grid.

"d2" indicates the measurement between the two preassembled muting sensors with the MFT (=150 mm).
