Safety Light Curtains are electro sensitive devices using one or more light beams, emitted by an Emitter and received by a Receiver, to create an intangible controlled area.
Fundamental characteristics are:
- Safety type - Defines the self-monitoring and safety principles contained in the device; it must be chosen as a function of the risk level characterising the machine.
- Protected height - This is the height controlled by the light curtain. If it is positioned horizontally, this value shows the depth of the protected zone.
- Range - This is the maximum working distance that may exist between the emitter and the receiver. When deflection mirrors are used, it is necessary to take into account the attenuation factor introduced by each of them, which it is about 15%.
- Response time - This is the time it takes for the light curtain to transmit the alarm signal from the time the protected zone is interrupted.
- Resolution - The resolution of a light curtain is the minimum size of an object that, placed into the controlled area, will obscure the controlled zone and hence stop the hazardous movement of the machine.
ReeR has a unique experience with worldwide leaders in the machinery field, especially in the following applications:
- Palletizing
- Food & Beverage
- Robotics
- CNC centres (wood, glass and stone and marble working)
- Presses
- Metalworking
- Ceramics
- Automotive
- Textile

SELECTION CRITERIA OF A SAFETY LIGHT CURTAIN
1. Definition of the zone to be protected.
2. Definition of the parts of the body to be detected:
- fingers or hands
- approaching body of a person
- presence of a person in a hazardous area
3. Definition of the safety distance between the light curtain and the hazardous point.
4. Definition of the safety category Level/Type to be adopted according to ISO 13849-1, IEC 62061, IEC 61496
