Economical safeguarding of large-scale areas

Safety light barriers for body protection are used predominantly in applications where a large area needs safeguarding. They enable operating ranges of up to 55 m. In combination with mirrors, it is also possible to safeguard multiple sides with just one light barrier. Combined with the right safety controller, you have optimum protection for your employees and your plant.

Safeguarding of open danger zones and intervention points

Muting - Increased productivity when transporting material in and out

In your process, is material regularly transferred in and out while production is running? With muting this is possible - without any breaks in production. Pilz offers a variety of options for integration. With the safety light barriers in the PSENopt series, with integrated muting function, or with the safety light barriers PSENopt II, where the muting function can be integrated into the safe small controller PNOZmulti 2. The example below illustrates an L-muting application for safe material outfeed.
