Light curtain

Safety Light curtains are opto-electronic devices that are used to safeguard personnel in the vicinity of moving machinery with the potential to cause harm such as presses, winders and palletisers. Safety Light curtains can be used as an alternative to mechanical barriers and other forms of traditional machine guarding. By reducing the need for physical guards and barriers, safety light curtains can increase the maintainability of the equipment they are guarding. The operability and efficiency of machinery can also be improved by the use of safety light curtains by, for example, allowing easier access for semi-automatic procedures.
