IPF SAFETY LIGHT CURTAINS HAND, FINGER AND BODY PROTECTION The new generation of optoelectronic safety light curtains is an efficient and low-cost alternative to conventional mechanical protective devices. In automated production and manufacturing processes, effective accident and personal protection has absolute top priority. Safety light curtains form an invisible protected field of infrared beams in order to guard access to hazardous areas and danger points. Furthermore, the comprehensive range of accessories for the new products from ipf electronic will meet almost every customer...

100% PROTECTION FOR MAXIMUM SAFETY The safety light curtains for category 4 hand and finger protection are available with protected field heights of 150mm to 1800mm. The resolution is 30mm for hand protection and 14mm for finger protection. The response times of these light curtains are considerably shorter compared to the predecessor models, thereby also reducing the safety distances. The range of the hand protection light curtains is now max. 19m, whereas the maximum range for finger protection is 6m. The light curtains for body protection are now available with protected field heights of...

Muting is an intelligent way of automatically and temporarily deactivating the protective function of a safety light curtain (person, hand and finger protection) to allow e.g. material to be transported into a protected area. This simply requires so-called muting sensors (usually through-beam sensors with normally closed (NC) contact output) to be added to the light curtain and a muting relay to be installed. The arrangement of the sensors depends on whether sequential muting or cross muting is required. With sequential muting, several sensors connected in series (2 in front of and 2 behind...

APPLICATION EXAMPLE A metal foundry manufactures e.g. flywheels for use in the automotive industry. After the metal has been cast, the blanks are mechanically processed to produce a ready-to-install component. To optimize the production process, a robot was integrated to automatically load the components onto an oven conveyor. The transport racks and pallets are set down at separate retrieval points by a forklift and fed into the process via roller conveyors so that the robot can then collect the components and place them onto the oven conveyor. Here, access to the danger zone and the...
