OPERATING MANUAL
PSEN op2H-A series
1.3 Typical application areas
Example 1: Protecting the operating area on drilling machines
The operator inserts the workpiece and removes it after
machining. The operator must be protected from injury
during the machining process.
Solution:
The safety light curtain PSEN op2H-A is
particularly suitable for this application, as the device
needs to be installed directly on the machine.
Benefits:
The small dimensions of the light curtain
guarantee maximum flexibility during installation, as it
can be adapted to the machine dimensions.
Rotatable mounting brackets are included,
guaranteeing fast, simple attachment.
Example 2: Bending presses
The safety device must protect the bending
process operator from the crushing hazard
that exists between the upper and lower tool
or from the workpiece that is being
machined, if this approaches at high speed.
Solution:
Even if just one light axis on the
safety light curtain PSEN op2H-A is
interrupted during the downward phase, the
movable workpiece carrier is stopped
immediately.
Benefits:
The simple installation options and the small dimensions of the safety light curtain
mean it can be used in most bending operations. PSEN op2H-A not only guarantees a high
level of reliability but also increases production on the plant, as the standstill times needed
for access, settings and machine maintenance can be reduced.
Example 3: Paper cutting machine
A typical application for these protective devices is on paper cutting machinery for magazines
and special formats. The purpose of the light
curtain is to protect the operator from cuts or
abrasions from the cutting machine.
Solution:
The safety light curtain PSEN
op2H-A is particularly suitable for this
application, as the device needs to be
installed directly on the machine.
Benefits:
The small dimensions of the light
curtain and the guide rails at either end
guarantee maximum flexibility, as they can
be adapted to the machine’s mechanical
dimensions.
