Safety Light Curtain

Safety light curtain consists of a light emitter and a light receiver, can effectively detect any opaque objects exceeding the detection accuracy when entering the light curtain area. Safety light curtain adopts light curtain and controller separate design. It can be used with the controller, also can be directly connected to the PLC and safety relays, and cooperates with the machine tool control system to achieve automatic stop function in dangerous situation. ATO can offer AC 110-220V controllers according to customer needs. When the safety protection device fails, make sure that safety light curtain don't send the wrong signals to the controlled equipments.

Applications: Safety light curtain is an advanced laser sensor that protects the staffs around dangerous machinery and equipment. It can be apply to paper cutting machine, conveyors, assembly line, woodworking machinery, leather machinery, forging machine, punching and shearing machine, press machine, milling machine, drilling machine, welding machine, CNC, elevator, automation equipment, handling equipment and so on.

Tips: How to select safety light curtains?

1. Protection height: It is the protection height of the dangerous area. It is based on what kind of mechanical equipment the customer will use. For example, the punching machine has a large tonnage and the protection height needs to be larger.
2. Distance of optical axis: Refers to the distance between the transmitting tubes of safety light curtain, the shorter the distance, the smaller the test object, the higher the safety factor. Generally 10mm distance is enough to protect fingers, 20mm distance is enough to protect palm, 40mm distance is enough to protect arm.
3. The number of beams: Safety light curtain beam has the same protection height. When in same protection height, the greater the number, the smaller distance of optical axis, the smaller objects, the higher security. In general, the number of beams is a decisive factor for pricing the safety light curtain.
4. Dimensions: The commonly dimension is 30*30mm, using for punching machine and other equipments.
5. Output mode: There are five general output modes, such as NPN output, PNP output, relay output, digital output and analog output. It is to be set based on customer requirements.
6. Installation: Steel pipe support installation and side-mounted mode.
