Application Case | Improving Safety with Access Guarding for Punching Machines and Laser-Cutting Machines

To ensure comprehensive employee safety, the innovative technology of "safety light curtains" has been widely adopted in modern industrial production. Safety light curtains, also known as optoelectronic protective devices, consist of multiple sets of infrared emitters and receivers. They are installed around hazardous areas to form an invisible safety barrier. When this barrier is interrupted by any object (such as a part of the human body), the infrared signal emitted by the transmitter is blocked. The receiver immediately detects this change and quickly sends a signal to the control system, triggering an emergency stop or other safety measures, thereby effectively preventing accidental injuries.

In the application of punching and laser-cutting machines, sensor solutions reliably and flexibly protect hazardous areas. This maximizes personnel protection while minimizing the impact on workflow. By continuously monitoring and responding to potential danger in real-time, safety light curtains provide an instant safety light barrier for employees, reducing safety incidents caused by human error or negligence. At the same time, they enhance the overall production efficiency and safety management level of enterprises. Therefore, the installation and proper use of safety light curtains have become an indispensable measure to ensure employee safety in modern industrial production.
