Safety light barriers are photoelectric safety devices that use infrared beams to monitor hazardous areas and halt equipment if a person approaches, preventing injury. They are most commonly used in the following equipment and applications:
Industrial automation equipment, such as stamping machines (punches and shearing machines), robots, automated assembly lines, and conveyor belts, monitors work areas and initiates emergency shutdowns.
Hazardous machinery, including hydraulic and oil presses, and metal cutting equipment, can pose a high risk of personal injury during operation. Safety light barriers can replace traditional barriers to enhance safety.
In public facilities and specialized equipment, such as elevators, vending machines, and laser cutting machines, safety light barriers are installed around moving parts to prevent personnel from entering hazardous areas.
Safety light barriers are also used in logistics and warehousing systems and transportation for cargo monitoring and vehicle flow management.
