Safety for man and machine
A safety light curtain protects against unauthorized access of people to area's and/or machines. A safety light curtain consists of at least two components, a transmitter and a receiver. It is possible to connect several safety light curtains to each other and to use it as a master/slave setup (cascade).
Preventing dangerous situations
The emitter emits signals that are received by the receiver. If this signal is interrupted, the system switches off, preventing a dangerous situation. The minimum protected height that can be secured is 160 mm, the highest protected height is 2260 mm.
Different beam distances
In a set of safety light curtains, the emitter sends multiple signals to the receiver. The distance between the beams is 14, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 90 mm. The beam distance depends on the application. With a low beam distance, it is possible to use finger protection, with walk-in protection a greater resolutions of beam distance is required. ReeR Safety safety light barriers are available in safety type 2 and safety type 4 and can be used in a safety system with the use of a safety PLC.
