Safety light curtains and light barriers are optoelectronic devices designed to create an invisible protective field around hazardous machinery. These systems typically consist of a transmitter and receiver pair, generating multiple parallel infrared beams. Our range includes models with protected heights from 150 to 1650 mm, featuring compact dimensions and a 7-segment display for straightforward fault diagnosis. They are available in finger, hand, and body detection versions, with reaction times optimized for applications up to category 4 (SIL 3 / PL e). Key technical parameters include resolution (14 mm for finger, 30 mm for hand, 50 mm for body), scanning range, and response time, which are critical for selecting the correct safety distance according to ISO 13855.
These safety devices are primarily deployed in industrial automation environments, including assembly lines, robotic cells, packaging machinery, and metalworking presses. They serve as access guards for dangerous areas, replacing traditional mechanical guards and interlock switches. Common applications include press brake safeguarding, palletizing stations, and automated welding cells. The light curtains integrate seamlessly into safety circuits, typically connected to safety relays or programmable safety controllers, ensuring a safe stop command is issued when any beam is interrupted.
Our safety light curtains comply with international standards IEC 61496-1/2 (type 2 or type 4) and ISO 13849-1, ensuring performance levels up to PL e. They are compatible with major safety controller brands such as SiemensPilz, and Omron. The Carlo Gavazzi series, including models like PS31M and PS21L, feature standardized M12 connectors for easy integration. Accessories such as alignment aids, protective housings, and corner mirrors are available to simplify installation in complex layouts.
