End of Line Packaging
| Application |

| End of line packaging machines present significant
hazards. They operate automatically and have openings large
enough to allow the passage of pallet loads and therefore
provide potential for unauthorized access. Accidents can be
caused by entry into the working parts of the machine
if proper control of the entry source is not considered.

8000 Series,
SG Series
and
Pallet Safe Series offer a number of
special safety light curtain styles that specifically address
packaging and palletizing equipment. With the inclusion of on-board
muting initiating systems, the 'L' and 'T' shaped light curtains
effectively safeguard the entry/exit areas of an end of line
packaging system detecting the difference between a pallet and a
person. If a pallet passes through the entry/exit area, the
light curtain temporarily mutes its signal allowing the pallet to
enter or leave the area without bringing the packaging system to a
halt. If a person enters the entry/exit area the light curtain will
shut down the operation of the associated machinery. |
