In machine operation, whenever the light curtain beams are broken the press immediately stops to help avoid danger to the operator. Once the beams are cleared the machine can then be started.

Muting Modes

Four conveyor examples: All conveyor applications shown with a safety light curtain helping protect the dangerous area. In-line and cross beam muting is used to allow the material to pass through the light curtain without stopping the machine. Any other object or person will be detected by the light curtain which will initiate machine stop.

Bi-directional muting: In-line muting requires the material to break the beams in a sequence, as shown. Only if all four muting sensor (MS) beams are broken in turn and then clear in turn will the light curtain allow material through without initiating machine stop.

Two Sensor T-type
