Safety Light Curtains for Keeping Operators' Fingers Safe on Hydraulic Presses
Protection of the operators' fingers is critical in hydraulic press areas. In other words, it must be possible to stop any hazardous movement at each defined stage.
What is the best solution to meet these needs?
Safety light curtains are appropriate for this potentially hazardous environment.
Two core features of these curtains:
• Safety category: 4 of EN ISO 13849-1 and type 4 of DIN EN 61496-1 and -2
• maximum operating range: 3.5 m
How do safety light curtains work?
They have a receiver and a sender unit. Infrared beams provide a protecting field. Their selected resolution of 14 mm is appropriate for finger protection.
LED displays on the receiver and the sender show field position, alignment quality, transmission channel, and operating mode.
If any object enters the protecting field, the press halts instantly. The reliability of this protection system is warranted by a fail-safe electronic design with lasting auto control.
