Product type
Safety light curtains are devices used to protect personnel from hazardous areas in industrial environments. They consist of an array of infrared light beams that create an invisible barrier. When an object or person interrupts the beams, the system triggers a safety response, such as stopping machinery or activating alarms. These devices are typically made from durable materials to withstand industrial conditions and are designed for reliable operation in various environments.
| Detection range | Up to 20 meters |
| Number of beams | Typically 2 to 32 beams |
| Response time | 10 to 20 milliseconds |
| Operating temperature | -10°C to +55°C |
| Protection rating | IP65 or higher |
When selecting a safety light curtain, consider the required detection range and the number of beams needed for your application. It's important to specify the response time and environmental conditions, such as temperature and dust exposure. Certifications such as ISO 13849 or IEC 61496 may be relevant for compliance with safety standards. Additionally, determine the quantity needed for your installation to get accurate quotes.
