Problem
These systems are large, generally operated automatically and have openings large enough to allow the passage of loads, therefore provide potential for personnel access towards the dangerous machinery.
Solution
Smartcan 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.
