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. 

End of line packaging machinery include:
  • Palletizeres & De-palletizers
  • Robotic Handling Systems
  • Pallet Strapping Machines
  • Stretch Wrapping Machines
  • Pallet Lifts
  • Stackers and De-stackers
  • Pallet Shrink-Wrapping Machinery
  • Automatic End of Line Packaging Machinery when conveyor access for palletized loads is required into and out of the 'Danger Zone'.

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.
