Light barrier controlers

Light barriers belong to electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) which cut off dangerous movements and initiate a safe condition when persons or objects approach to a dangerous location.

Advantages

  • Increase productivity by longer cycle times without loss of safety
  • No need for mechanical safety devices
  • Easy implementation of muting functions

Safety gate monitoring

The electro-sensitive protective equipment BWS-S, also referred to as type 4, is not affected by a farlure within the electro-sensitive protective equipment. Our solutions for this include:

  • Type-tested evaluation circuits in compliance with relevant norms
  • Prewired rail-mounted modules, also with muting function

Protection of operators on machinery who have to cyclically intervene in the process (dangerous area), e.g. loading and removal of process material/products.

A typical application is the operation of presses.
