Resolution & Application Guide
Resolution (K)Typical Application
10 / 14 mmFinger protection (assembly, fixtures, close-to-hazard)
20 / 25 / 30 mmPalm/hand protection (packaging, access openings)
40 / 80 mmArm/body presence (aisles, outdoor perimeters)

Protective height H = (n − 1) × K. Model naming below uses this rule.

Typical Applications

  • Outdoor / humid lines: IP68 design for washing stations, door gates, logistics lines.
  • Presses / shears / press brakes: 10–30 mm resolutions for hand protection; fast stop distance.
  • Perimeter guarding: 40–80 mm for aisle and presence detection.
  • General machinery: integrate with a safety relay/PLC for stop, interlock and EDM monitoring.

Safety distance reference (ISO 13855): S = K × T + C, where T is machine stopping time.

Installation & Accessories

DQR installation & accessories

Standard kit: data cable, T-bolts, brackets, emitter & receiver. Aviation plug: 304 stainless steel screw waterproof type (M12).

Resolutions: 10/14/20/25/30/40/80 mm; choose protective height H by beams n.

Working Principle

The DQR series uses through-beam infrared photoelectric sensing to form a virtual protective field. When any beam is interrupted, the receiver drives the dual OSSD outputs to OFF and the safety relay/PLC removes motive power. Optical synchronization simplifies wiring and improves immunity. Built-in self-diagnostics and EDM enhance system reliability; restart interlock ensures safe recovery after clearing the hazard.
