GENERAL INFORMATION
8 SG4 EXTENDED
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Example 1: Operating point protection on drilling machines
The operator positions the part and takes it back after machining. The operator must be
protected against possible abrasions while working.
Solution:
SG 14mm safety light curtain is especially suitable for this kind of application,
which requires the installation of the device directly on the machine.
Advantages:
Highly reduced profile size guarantees installation flexibility for machine
dimensions.
Example 2: Bending presses
The safety device must protect the operator from being squashed between the top and
bottom tool or the machined part during the fast approach phase.
Solution:
If only one beam of the safety light curtain is darkened while the press is mov-
ing down, the mobile tool bar will stop.
Advantages:
The safety light curtain can be used in most bending operations thanks to
its easy installation and compact dimensions.
As well as offering excellent reliability, SG ensures increased plant productivity as it
reduces the dead times necessary for machine accessing, adjustment and maintenance.
