Manual Load and Unload


Application
A person often needs to load and unload product from a machine or from other potentially hazardous areas.

Machines Include:
  • Special purpose equipment
  • Presses
  • Robot load/unload stations
  • Extruding
  • Assembly
  • Welding

Problem
The machine must stop so that a person can safely reach into the area to load and unload the product. The machine then has to be restarted after the product has been changed and the area has is made safe.
Solution

Smartscan offers a wide range of straight light curtains with automatic restart or manual restart modes. Our light curtains provide protection for personnel by not allowing the machines to run or a robotic to enter an area, unless it is safe.

When mounted vertically the light curtains provide, "Point of Operation" guarding while allowing safe and immediate access for necessary manual operations.

When mounted horizontally the light curtains replace pressure sensitive mats, which have a shorter useful life.
