MTB/PMT Merlin Controller

Description

The Merlin MTB & PMT Controllers are both designed to operate with the Merlin "T" Series Light Curtain Columns. The MTB Control is a free-standing 6" x 8" x 3.5" enclosure and the PMT is a panel-mount version that can be mounted in a cut-out on an existing enclosure or machine operator console. Both versions contain very reliable dual-redundant microprocessor based circuitry, including three captive-contact safety control relays. A switching power supply design allows these controllers to perform properly from 90 – 250 VAC. This advanced design allows for a quick reaction time of less than 15 milliseconds and yet is insensitive to voltage fluctuations, ambient light, smoke, oil vapors, strobe lights and weld flash. A multi-line LCD display makes this product simple to use and displays any fault conditions or operator prompting. This product is ideally suited for a wide variety of category 4 general purpose industrial point of operation guarding applications, including mechanical power presses, hydraulic presses, automated assembly machines, roll form lines, welding lines and just about any other machine that has control reliable electrics and where the hazardous motion of the machine can be stopped anywhere in the machine’s cycle, when a stop signal is generated by the Merlin’s Safety Output relays.
