The safety light curtain produced by the light curtain manufacturer is a safety certified light curtain product, which consists of two parts. The projector emits modulated infrared light and receives the infrared light to form a protective net. When the object enters the protective net and the light is blocked by the object, the receiving circuit immediately responds through the internal control circuit, that is, a signal is output in the output part for emergency braking of machine tools such as punching machines. Light curtains have a wide range of applications. For example, if a contact safety door is installed on a stamping equipment that needs to continuously send and receive materials, the operator needs to open and close the door frequently, which not only increases the workload of the operator, but also reduces the production efficiency. In this case, gratings and light curtains are the best option. Interruption of lighting on any part of the body will bring the machine into a safe state without harming the operator as the operator transports and takes material.
Light curtain manufacturers produce safety light curtains, and the density of the beam determines how much body parts can pass through the light curtain before being detected. According to ergonomic data, the diameter of an adult finger should be no less than 14 mm, the thickness of the palm should be no less than 30 mm, and the diameter of the wrist should be no less than 40 mm. For example, if the distance between the optical axes of the light screen is 80 mm, the diameter of the optical axis is 20 mm, and the resolution is 80-20 = 60 mm, fingers, palms, wrists and arms may pass through the light screen undetected . Therefore, if we want to achieve higher security, we need to use higher resolution light curtains.
When using gratings and light screens, there are certain installation requirements. People are not allowed to bypass the grating and light screen to enter the dangerous area. There is no surface reflection light near the grating and light screen, which can receive the reflected light and cannot output the safety switch signal. In addition, there are certain requirements for the use environment of gratings and light curtains. If there is too much dust in the environment, it will affect the emission of light, thus affecting the use of gratings and light curtains.
