Q: Where should safety light curtains be installed?

A:Safety light curtains are often used in the following areas that require personnel protection:1. Hazardous areas of mechanical equipmentSuch as the feed port or operation area of ​​equipment with moving parts such as punching machines, shearing machines, injection molding machines, bending machines, etc.2. Both sides of the conveyor belt of the automated production linePrevent personnel from accidentally entering the dangerous area when the conveyor belt is running.3. Robot operation areaEnsure the safety of personnel and robots when collaborating or maintaining.4. Assembly and handling system boundariesRestrict access to high-speed moving parts areas.5. Lifting platform, automatic storage equipment entranceDetect personnel entering high-risk spaces and perform interlocking control.6. At the entrance of dangerous doors/channelsUsed to prevent personnel from entering restricted areas without authorization.The installation location should be determined based on the risk assessment results, combined with the equipment operation mode and personnel operating habits.

Q: How to determine the installation distance and response time of the proximity switch?

A:The installation distance and response time of the proximity switch should be determined according to the following factors:✅ Installation distance (detection distance)· Material of the object to be detected: Metal materials (such as iron and steel) are best for inductive proximity switches; non-metallic objects require capacitive proximity switches.· Switch type:-Shielded type: Installed flush with the metal surface, the detection distance is shorter.-Unshielded type: Installed protruding from the metal surface, the detection distance is longer.· Environmental interference: Avoid magnetic field interference sources during installation, and ensure that there are no other metal objects too close around.· Actual distance recommendation: Usually the actual installation distance is 70%-80% of the rated detection distance to ensure long-term stability.✅ Response time· Determined by application requirements: High-speed applications (such as speed detection and counting) require models with a response time in the range of 0.1~2 ms.· Product specification confirmation: Different models have different response times, and the manufacturer's technical parameters must be consulted when selecting.📝 Summary: Reasonable installation distance and fast response time should be considered in combination with application requirements, target materials and environmental conditions to ensure stable and reliable operation of the switch.

Q: How to install the safety edge?

The installation steps of the safety touch edge are briefly as follows:1. Confirm the installation location: select the edge that needs to be protected, such as automatic doors, lifting platforms, robotic arms, etc.2. Fix the bracket or rail: fix the touch edge on the surface of the equipment or in the matching aluminum profile groove to ensure that the installation is straight and firm.3. Avoid excessive bending: avoid sharp angles or too small bending radius on the touch edge during installation to avoid affecting the performance of internal switching components.4. Reserve activity margin: a certain margin should be left during installation to avoid pulling and breaking the wire during movement.5. Wiring connection: according to the cable type of the touch edge, connect it correctly to the safety controller or safety relay system.6. Test function: after installation, perform a pressure test to ensure that the touch edge is sensitive and can correctly trigger the shutdown or alarm function.It is recommended to read the product manual or technical information carefully before installation to ensure compatibility and correct operation.🙌Free PDF DownloadDownload our free technical guide on safety edges (PDF file)  🔊More InformationSafety Edges|DADISICK

Q: How to connect the safety relay to the emergency stop button and safety light curtain?

A:Safety relays can be used as central control modules to integrate multiple safety input devices (such as emergency stop buttons and safety light curtains) into a safety loop. The connection method is as follows:1. Emergency stop button connection:Connect the normally closed contact of the button to the input of the safety relay. When the button is pressed, the contact is disconnected, the relay detects the circuit break, immediately cuts off the output, and shuts down the relevant equipment.2. Safety light curtain connection:The safety output signal of the light curtain controller (usually PNP or relay normally open contact) is connected to another input channel of the safety relay. When the light curtain is blocked, the output signal is interrupted and the safety relay responds.3. Output control:The safety relay will close the output loop and allow the equipment to run only when all input signals are normal. If any input triggers a fault, the output is disconnected.4. Feedback loop (monitoring normally closed contacts):It is recommended to add a feedback loop to monitor whether the contactor is reliably released to ensure the redundancy and reliability of the entire safety system.Through this connection method, the safety relay realizes unified monitoring and control of multiple safety devices and improves the overall system safety level.

Q: Please describe the installation requirements for ultrasonic sensors.

A:The installation of ultrasonic sensors must comply with the following requirements to ensure their measurement accuracy and stability:Reasonable installation positionThe sensor should be aligned vertically with the target surface to avoid large angle deviations to ensure that the sound waves are correctly reflected and returned.Avoid interferenceThere should be no obstructions in front of the sensor to avoid false triggering or reflection interference from other objects.Maintain a clean spaceAvoid installing the sensor in dust, steam, strong wind or high humidity environments, and use a protective cover if necessary.Avoid resonance interferenceDo not fix the sensor in a vibrating position to prevent affecting the propagation of sound waves.Fully consider blind spotsUltrasonic sensors have a certain minimum detection distance (blind spot). When installing, ensure that the target object is beyond this range.Correct wiring and power supplyWiring according to the instructions to ensure that parameters such as voltage and current meet the sensor requirements.Avoid mutual interference with multiple ultrasonic devicesIf multiple sensors are used side by side, they should be installed staggered or set to different working cycles.

Q: What tests should we perform after installing a new light curtain?

A:After installing a new light curtain, the following tests should be performed to ensure that it operates properly and meets safety requirements:1. Light curtain alignment test: Confirm that the transmitter and receiver are correctly aligned and the beam is not blocked.2. Function test: Block the beam with an object to check whether the alarm or shutdown can be triggered correctly.3. Response time test: Confirm whether the light curtain responds to the blockage in a timely manner and meets the safety requirements of equipment operation.4. Area coverage test: Verify whether the protection area fully covers the key hazardous area.5. Linkage control test: Check whether the linkage function between the light curtain and the equipment control system, such as emergency stop or safety interlock, is normal.6. Stability test: Let the equipment run continuously for a period of time to observe whether the light curtain is stable and there are no false alarms or missed detections.7. Safety distance verification: Ensure that the installation position of the light curtain meets the minimum safety distance required by national or international standards.8. Indicator/fault signal check: Confirm that all status indicators and fault signals can be displayed correctly.After the test is passed, it is recommended to record the test results and post operating instructions or safety tips to facilitate daily maintenance and operation.
