Boost Operational Efficiency with Innovative Safety Light Curtains 

Making human-machine interactions safer doesn’t have to come at the expense of efficiency. Safety light curtains can help you prevent worker injury and increase productivity at the same time.  

Safety light curtains work by creating an invisible barrier to machinery hazards using photoelectric presence sensors. If a human breaks this barrier, the curtain automatically sends a stop signal to the guarded machine, making it easier to prevent worker injury.  

Allen-Bradley® safety light curtains by Rockwell Automation® are also smart solutions, providing detailed diagnostic data so you can improve efficiency.  

For example, the GuardShield™ 450L safety light curtain with the CIP Safety™ over EtherNet/IP™ plug-in can help you identify the cause of a downtime event by showing you which specific beams were tripped on the light curtain. 

These safety light curtains also feature a patented transceiver design for enhanced flexibility. Innovative transceiver technology allows each light curtain to function as a transmitter or receiver using plug-ins. This can reduce costs and simplify your inventory, since you don’t have to purchase additional light curtain models to accommodate different features.  

Safety light curtains also make it easier to perform routine maintenance, decreasing downtime-no need to lose valuable production time removing mechanical guards from machines.
