Application of Safety Light Curtain in Telescopic Aisle Machine

Set the protection area of ​​the safety light curtain around the movement area of ​​the telescopic aisle machine. This area should be able to completely cover the movement range of the aisle machine to ensure that the safety light curtain can immediately detect and respond once a person or object enters the area during the telescopic process of the aisle machine.

The transmitter and receiver are installed on both sides or upper and lower positions of the telescopic aisle machine to form an invisible grating barrier. These transmitters and receivers should be able to scan at high speed and monitor whether the infrared beam is blocked.

The controller is responsible for receiving signals from the receiver and responding accordingly. For example, when the receiver detects that the infrared beam is blocked, the controller will immediately stop the movement of the telescopic aisle machine and trigger the alarm system.

Signal transmission should be stable and reliable to ensure a quick response in an emergency. Therefore, it is necessary to select high-quality transmission lines and controllers to ensure the accuracy and stability of the signal.

For telescopic aisle machines that need to protect multiple surfaces, multi-segment light curtains can be considered. Multi-segment light curtains consist of multiple transmitting and receiving units, which can protect multiple surfaces at the same time, but only require one set of power supply and one output signal. This design not only simplifies the complexity of power supply and signal output, but also makes the system installation neater and maintenance more convenient.

Safety light curtains should have fault self-detection functions, which can automatically detect and report system faults. For example, when a transmitter or receiver fails, the controller should be able to send an alarm signal and stop the movement of the telescopic aisle machine.

In addition, a manual reset function can be set so that the normal operation of the equipment can be quickly restored after the fault is eliminated.

The multi-level and multi-directional light curtain arrangement can cover all dangerous areas of the telescopic aisle machine to ensure no blind spots.

Intelligent application: The safety light curtain can adjust the detection sensitivity and protection range according to the actual application scenario to adapt to different operation requirements.

Compared with traditional mechanical protection equipment, the safety light curtain does not affect the normal operation process of the equipment, and maximizes the operation efficiency while ensuring safety.

Telescopic aisle machines usually work in complex and changeable industrial environments. Therefore, it is necessary to select safety light curtains with strong environmental adaptability, such as dustproof, waterproof and anti-electromagnetic interference products.

In order to ensure the long-term and stable operation of the safety light curtain, the system needs to be maintained and inspected regularly. For example, cleaning the transmitter and receiver, checking whether the transmission line is intact, etc.

In summary, in the application of telescopic aisle machines, safety light curtains provide effective safety protection for equipment operation. By reasonably setting protection areas, arranging transmitters and receivers, selecting high-quality controllers and transmission lines, and setting fault self-detection and alarm functions, the safe operation of telescopic aisle machines can be ensured and production efficiency can be improved. At the same time, the intelligent application of safety light curtains can flexibly adapt to different production environments and improve the automation level and operating efficiency of equipment. With the development of intelligent manufacturing and automated logistics, safety light curtains will play an important role in more telescopic aisle machine scenarios and provide reliable safety solutions for modern industry.
