Safety light curtains are optoelectronic devices designed to protect personnel from hazardous areas in automated environments. They consist of a series of infrared light beams that create a protective barrier, stopping machinery when an object or person interrupts the beam. Typically made of durable materials such as plastic or aluminum, these devices are essential for ensuring safety in industrial settings.
| Detection range | Up to 20 meters |
| Number of beams | Typically 2 to 128 beams |
| Response time | Less than 20 milliseconds |
| Operating temperature | -10°C to 55°C |
| Protection rating | IP65 or higher |
When selecting a safety light curtain, consider the height and width of the area to be protected, as well as the required detection range. It's important to specify the number of beams needed for your application to ensure adequate coverage. Additionally, check for compliance with relevant safety standards and certifications, such as ISO 13849 or IEC 61496. Quantities should reflect your installation needs, including any spares for maintenance.
