In this application the OS32C is the secondary guarding device in conjunction with a safety light
curtain. The OS32C is responsible for detecting that the work area is clear before start-up of the robot
occurs.

In this application the OS32C is the primary guarding device, using a vertical protective field for point of
operation guarding. In some cases the machine’s architecture or production flow may not permit the
installation of a safety light curtain. The OS32C meets all the requirements of IEC 61496-3 for vertical
guarding installations and employs a reference boundary monitoring function.
