Safety Light Curtains
Light Curtains For Industrial Machine Safety Applications
Safety light curtains are electro sensitive devices using one or more light beams, emitted by an Emitter and received by a Receiver, to create an intangible controlled area.
Safety light curtains are essential safety devices for industrial machinery, creating an invisible barrier of infrared light to protect personnel. When the light curtain is breached, it instantly stops the machine - enhancing workplace safety, while reducing accident risks.
ReeR safety light curtains safeguard employees from machinery hazards, minimize operational downtime due to accidents, and uphold a commitment to employee welfare, fostering a safer and more productive work environment. These versatile devices are easy to install and do not hinder machine operation, making them an ideal safety solution.
Advantages Of Safety Light Curtains For Your Industrial Machinery
- Effective protection in the event of operator fatigue or distraction
- Increase in machine productive capacity as the light curtain does not require the manual handling of physical guards or waiting for them to open
- Faster machine loading/unloading operations
- Reduced times of approach to the working areas
- Elimination of the tampering risks, since any irregular intervention on the light curtain instantly stops the machine
- Simple and quick installation, with greater flexibility of adjustment on the machine, even in the case of subsequent repositioning
- Possibility to build up large sized protections, either linear or along a perimeter, on several sides, at greatly reduced costs
- Facilitated and fast maintenance of the machine, as there is no need to remove physical guards, such as grids, gates, etc.
- Improved appearance and ergonomic effectiveness of the machine
Safety Level
Defines the self-monitoring and safety principles contained in the device; it must be chosen as a function of the risk level characterising the machine.
Protected Height
This is the height protected by the light curtain. If it is positioned horizontally, this value shows the depth of the protected zone.
Range
This is the maximum working distance that may exist between the emitter and the receiver.
Response Time
This is the time it takes for the safety light curtain to transmit the alarm signal from the time the protected zone is interrupted.
Light Curtain Resolution
The resolution of a light curtain is the minimum size of an object that, placed into the controlled area, will obscure the controlled zone and hence stop the hazardous movement of the machine.
