What is the Role of Safety Light Curtain in CNC Hydraulic Press Brakes?

Table of contents

Safety Light Curtains are crucial for protecting operators and enhancing CNC hydraulic press brake efficiency. But how do they truly improve safety in industrial settings?

Safety Light Curtains for CNC Hydraulic Press Brakes serve as a protective barrier, ensuring operator safety by detecting obstacles. They immediately stop the machine if a person or object is detected, minimizing accidents and enhancing operational efficiency. Let’s explore how Safety Light Curtains work and their advantages for CNC press brake users.

Safety Light Curtain

The emitter sends light emissions to the receiver on the other end and then the protective zone is formed. Once an obstruction (such as operator’s finger or other unexpected items) enters the protection zone, the light curtain will immediately send a signal to the controller and stop the movement of the slider simultaneously.
