Safety Light Curtains

Safety Light Curtains for Automated Processes

Light curtains are essential safety devices used in industrial automation to protect operators and equipment. These systems consist of an array of photoelectric sensors that create an invisible barrier around hazardous areas. When an object or person interrupts this barrier, the light curtain immediately sends a signal to stop the machine, preventing accidents and injuries.

Light curtains are highly versatile and can be configured for various applications, including safeguarding points of operation, access points, and perimeters. They offer high levels of safety without impeding productivity, making them an ideal choice for modern automated environments. Their ease of installation, maintenance, and integration with existing control systems further enhances their appeal as a reliable safety solution in industrial settings.

At Cross Company we can work with you to devise the right safety precautions for your industrial automation equipment. Whether its light curtains or other industrial guarding, safety mats or anything between, we can provide the equipment your operation needs to protect your team.

Innovative Light Curtain Solutions

Light curtains are vital safety devices in industrial automation, providing a protective barrier that detects interruptions to prevent accidents. They use a series of photoelectric sensors to create an invisible shield around hazardous areas, stopping machinery instantly when the beam is broken. This technology ensures high safety standards without compromising productivity.

Having the proper safety systems in place is critical. It reduces the risk of injury to your most important resource: people. This, in turn, protects you from costs associated with workers’ compensation and downtime. Implementing the latest technology in light curtains can benefit your operation in many ways.
