APPLICATIONS OVERVIEW 17 18 APPLICATIONS OVERVIEW
The light curtains shown in figure 4 use a parallel-beam muting system and in figure 5 a cross-beam muting system. In both cases the muting system will allow products to pass freely into and out from the danger area but instantaneously shut-down all machinery motion should a person attempt to gain access into the danger zone. Figure 6 shows a similar application but employs a light curtain with an OUTFEED ONLY cross-beam muting system. Figure 7 and 8 show palletised loads passing through a single, in-linepackaging machine. In these cases light curtains at both infeed and outfeed areas are required. Figure 7 shows a T type cross-beam muting light curtain (LC2) at the infeed and an ‘L’ type OUTFEED ONLY cross-beam muting light curtain (LC1) at the outfeed. Figure 7 Figure 8 shows an alternative muting configuration with T type, parallel-beam muting light curtains at both the infeed and outfeed areas. In this application the pallet load may travel in either direction. Figure 6 Figure 8 8000 SERIES8000 SERIES
