A:
A safety light curtain is an advanced optoelectronic protective device that can be used as a safety guard, infrared safety guard, or press protection device. It is suitable for potential hazardous machinery such as stamping machines, forging machines, and automated equipment, which can pose a risk of personal injury. The installation of a safety light curtain can effectively protect personal safety.
Injection molding machines and punch presses are both large-scale mechanical equipment. When installing safety light curtain protection devices, special methods can be used for protection. Based on the actual usage of injection molding machines, the selection and improvement of self-checking functions of safety light curtains can be done to determine the beam spacing, height protection, distance protection, and output mode, ensuring that when a safety light curtain malfunctions, it does not send incorrect signals to the controlled equipment.
Maintenance, repair, and upkeep of injection molding machines must be carried out by qualified and experienced experts or technicians. The operation of the injection molding machine should only be done when all safety devices are functioning properly. The safety light curtain protection device installed on the machine is designed to protect the operator's personal safety and ensure that the product and equipment are not damaged. Therefore, it is not allowed to dismantle safety light curtains or other protective devices without proper authorization, and the software programs in the devices should not be modified randomly. Before using the machine, it is necessary to check whether the safety protection devices are functioning correctly.
