Light Curtains
In industrial settings, doors and machinery pose numerous hazards. Implementing light curtains, which employ photo-optic technology, significantly enhances safety for both personnel and vehicles in these areas. Integrating light curtains into industrial doors provides an essential, almost invisible layer of protection, offering peace of mind.
Features and Benefits:
Reliable Detection: Thru-beam technology is able to detect obstructions with greater accuracy which is valuable in a busy and dynamic industrial space.
Long range: With a 32 ft. operating range, these light curtains offer extensive coverage, ensuring reliable detection across larger areas, which is crucial for safety in industrial environments.
Easy setup: Uses LED indicators to setup and diagnose issues
UL325 Compliant: Safety compliance is critical in door operators and entrapment protection devices.
Monitored Light Curtain
An invisible blanket of protection
Made of a series of thru-beam photo eyes
This light curtain features continuous monitoring of the door operator's presence and functionality. Upon detecting an obstruction, the system initiates reversal of the door's operation, ensuring a safety-first approach.
Used to extend vertical protection where standard photo eyes provide low coverage.
Light curtains are a good choice for detecting smaller objects and machinery that may be missed by standard photo eyes.
Operating range: 8-32 ft. (2-10m)
Power source: 12-24 volts DC
Housing: ABS plastic with epoxy PVC over aluminum (MLC-K36) or PVC over aluminum (MLC-K72)
Degree of protection: IP67 - sealed against water and dust
Models we offer:
