SAFETY LIGHT CURTAINS
Barriere fotoelettriche di sicurezza: un fattore importante per la sicurezza del personale
Staff safety is an increasingly important factor in automated processes. Whenever the machines perform hazardous movements, the health and safety regulations must be respected. Any cuts, crushing or impact injuries must be prevented even during temporary operator distractions.
Safety light curtains are a simple and cost-effective way to secure hazardous areas. Together with the safety control unit, the photoelectric sensors create a photoelectric protective device.
TSA offers a complete range of safety light curtains capable of reducing the most common risks associated with machinery and equipment. Together with the safety control units, the safety photoelectric devices guarantee shutdown in the event of unauthorized access to a dangerous area.
Typical applications are the boundaries of accesses and the monitoring of dangerous areas on cells with robots and production lines. For use in the food and beverage industry, devices with watertight enclosures with a high degree of protection are available.
To determine the characteristics of a light curtain, Iso tables relating to safety distances are used. These tables allow you to establish the height of the barrier and the pitch of the rays, the closer we get to the dangerous area, the higher the height and the denser the pitch must be.
The useful heights available for category 2 or category 4 barriers are the following:
150, 300, 450, 600, 750, 900, 1050, 1200, 1350, 1500, 1650, 1800, 1950.
Resolution, protection beams:
14-20mm resolution for finger detection.
30-35 and 40mm resolution for hand detection.
50mm resolution for detecting the presence of the body in the area.
