Safety light grids are also known as safety light curtains or infrared photoelectric protectors. They are commonly used in punching, cutter repairs, non-standard automation equipment, etc., to protect the personal safety of operators.

    The most direct function of safety light curtains is to protect the personal safety of operators from harm, such as protecting fingers, palms and arms. Human hands are in a hazardous area when operating most equipment and machinery. Improper or improper operation can easily cause safety accidents, and the use of safety light curtains can solve this problem.

    If it is a hydraulic press and needs to install a safety light curtain, how to choose?

    There are four main factors in choosing a safety light curtain: the distance between the optical axes, the protective height, the beam distance and the output signal. The optical axis spacing is mainly related to the protection object, such as fingers, palms, arms or regional human protection. The protection height and beam distance are related to the protection area of the safety light grid. The output signal mainly depends on the actual output signal.

    Generally, as long as the components of the safety grille are perfect, and the above four factors meet the requirements of our hydraulic press, it can be used on our equipment, but hydraulic presses are relatively dangerous equipment. With this in mind, we must also see if there are some relevant certifications available for safety light grids, as these can guarantee the authenticity of the device and guarantee quality and safety.
