Description
The Allen-Bradley Guardmaster GuardShield Type 2 safety light curtain is a self contained “two box,” Type 2 safety light curtain. Designed for use on or around machinery in which a formal risk assessment has determined that a Type 2 safety device is of a sufficient level of safety to meet the guarding application, the GuardShield Type 2 is the ideal solution. GuardShield Type 2 is offered in either a “Guard Only” operating mode or in a factory configured operating mode of restart interlock with external device monitoring. In either operating mode, the GuardShield Type 2 safety light curtain will provide the appropriate level of protection to personnel.
The GuardShield Type 2 is designed to protect personnel from equipment or machinery hazards where the risk of injury are low. A formal risk assessment should be performed prior to selecting the proper safeguarding device. In many instances it is necessary to use a combination of safety devices to assure complete protection of personnel from hazards.

Safety light curtains of a Type 2 level of safety typically do not meet OSHA or ANSI requirements of “Control Reliability,” therefore it is not allowable to use a safety device of a Type 2 level on or around equipment or machinery that requires “Control Reliability.” |
