Open the catalog to page 3Light grids and light curtains LCA Light grids and light curtains are electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) for securing danger areas on machines and installations. They use several light beams to form an invisible safety light curtain in front of the danger area. When a machine operator interrupts one of these light beams, this will cause the safety outputs to switch off. When installed vertically, light grids and light curtains serve the purpose of access control for operating personnel. When installed horizontally, they secure areas or prevent people from stepping behind them....
Open the catalog to page 4Differentiation between LCA devices of type 2 and type 4 On devices of type 2, the safety function is checked by periodic tests. Any fault is detected during the next periodic test, and the safety outputs are switched off. Light grids and light curtains of type 2 correspond to safety category SIL 1 and category 2/PL c can be achieved. The maximum permissible beam angle per light beam is ± 5°. LCA type 2 Category 2/PL c or SIL 1 Light beam ± 5° max. permissible beam angle Devices of type 4 can be used in applications requiring category 4/PL e and SIL They are characterized by the property...
Open the catalog to page 5Light grids vs. light curtains The basic distinction between light grids and light curtains is the number of light beams used to produce a protective field. Light curtains consist of many light beams, which can detect different body parts depending on the resolution (14 – 50 mm). A distinction is made between finger, hand and body protection. Light grids produce a protective field consisting of 2 – 4 light beams. Owing to the large distance between the individual light beams, light grids are particularly suitable for access control to large work areas and for applications involving a large...

Open the catalog to page 9Function expansion Muting Muting allows safety functions of a light grid or light curtain to be bypassed automatically for a limited time. For example, parts supplied to a danger area can pass through the protective field without triggering the safety function. With the aid of additional sensors, the control system monitors the proper procedure and detects whether people move through the protective field instead of the defined parts, for example. This function is simple to implement with devices from series LCA and the programmable small control system MSC. Cascading (series connection) of...
Open the catalog to page 10Versatile accessories Deflection mirrors and mounting pillars Mounting pillars are available for the installation of the light grids and light curtains; these pillars provide additional protection for the devices. EUCHNER also offers a large number of deflection mirrors in different heights, both pre-assembled in mounting pillars and as separate products, ideal for fastening to profiles. In this way the entire danger area can be secured using a single transmitter/receiver pair. You can find accessories for your device very simply at www.euchner.com.
