Opto-electronic devices called light curtain receivers are used to protect people near moving machinery that could hurt them, such as presses, winders, and palletizers.
When light beams are blocked, a light curtain’s most basic duty is to turn off its outputs, signaling an end to the related hazardous movement (s).
Light sensors and receivers When compared to more conventional guarding techniques like mechanical barriers, sliding gates, and pull-back restraints, safety light curtains—also referred to as light screens, optical guards, and presence sensing devices—offer freedom, flexibility, and less operator fatigue.
The global light curtain receiver market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Rockwell automation’s 450L Guard Shield POC Safety Light Curtains. Traditional safety light curtains rely on separate transmitter and receiver devices, while 450L Guard Shield POC safety light curtains don’t.
Each transceiver features a cutting-edge plug-in module that enables it to be used as a transmitter or receiver thanks to patented technology. The entry-level model with on/off functionality is the 450L-B. Cascading, integrated muting, and integrated laser alignment are all aspects of the sophisticated 450L-E model.
The 450L-E light curtain is connected over Ether Net/IP, making it a smart safety gadget that improves safety while enabling connection via The Connected Enterprise. Contains unique technology that enables each transceiver to function as either a transmitter or a receiver using a cutting-edge plug-in module.
features a transceiver’s whole length being sensed by an active protective field. provides protection heights ranging from 150 to 1950 mm (5.9 to 76.7 in) in increments of 150 mm (0.5 ft). features a 30 x 30 mm small housing design (1.18 x 1.18 in.).
DIP switches on the plug-in modules make it simple to configure the start mode, external device monitoring (EDM), and scanning range. offers simple on/off functionality (450L-B only).
