Industrial MS46-30-1045-Q1-X Light Screen Receiver

MS46-30-1045-Q1-X is a 24 VDC light curtain receiver in the MS46 safety family, designed to guard hazardous machinery by pairing with a matching MS46-series transmitter to form a safety light curtain for industrial lines. It operates from a 24 V DC supply and typically draws about 265 mA in normal use. The receiver features a 1045 mm active length and supports object sizes of 30 mm, 52 mm, or 74 mm, enabling flexible protected-field configurations, while its sensing range reaches roughly 65 feet (about 20 meters) in typical installations. Weighing around 8.0 lb, this model is cataloged in some listings as MS46301045Q1X and is the 30 mm/1045 mm variant within the MS46-30-1045-Q1-X family. In practice, it serves as the receiver half of a two-part system used to detect beam interruption and stop the guarded equipment, requiring a compatible transmitter and controller to process the stop signal and integrate with the machine’s safety architecture.
