Safety light curtain sensor applications

Safety light curtain plays a very important role in safe production due to its excellent performance. It can protect workers from the harm of dangerous machines. Safety light curtain can be applied in the following fields.

Safety light curtains used in Mechanical automation

Mechanical automation: In automated production lines, safety light barriers are used to protect operators from mechanical arms, conveyor belts, and other automated equipment. For example, when an operator accidentally approaches a running mechanical arm, the safety light barrier will detect and immediately stop the operation of the machine to avoid accidents.

Safety light curtains used in Packaging and assembly industry

Packaging and assembly industry: In packaging and assembly lines, safety light barriers can be used to ensure that workers operate in a safe area and prevent them from contacting dangerous mechanical parts. The safety light barrier forms a “light wall” that immediately stops the relevant mechanical operation once an object passes through.

Safety light curtains used in Material handling

Material handling: In automated warehouses and logistics centers, safety light barriers are often used to monitor the path area of ​​heavy equipment such as forklifts and automatic transport vehicles. This helps prevent collisions with people or other equipment.

Lorentzzi Safety Light Curtains Used in Hazardous Area
