High-Density Electronics Assembly (PCB Lines)
In compact pick-and-place stations, the slim twin-stick design fits into narrow gaps, ensuring operators’ fingers are protected. The fine 14 mm resolution detects even small intrusions, while the rapid ≤14 ms response time maintains production speed without compromising safety.
Compact CNC Machining Centers
When guarding access points on small CNC machines, the flush-mount brackets minimize blind spots and reduce the required safety distance. This improves operator comfort, allows closer positioning to work areas, and helps sustain efficient workflow.
Pharmaceutical Filling Lines
At product loading areas where hygiene and safety are critical, the high-resolution beams detect finger entry instantly. The IP65 protection allows the unit to withstand washdowns and splashes, ensuring safety without affecting compliance with cleanliness standards.
Food Packaging Machinery
The slim housing and optical synchronization make it easy to install inside tight conveyor areas. It prevents hand access to dangerous moving parts while allowing flexible equipment layouts and maintaining high-speed packaging operations.
Automotive Component Trimming Cells
By cascading multiple units in U-shaped arrangements, these light curtains provide complete coverage without dead zones. This is ideal for safeguarding operators working close to fast-moving cutters in compact production cells.
Robot Tending Stations
In small robotic work zones, the modular twin-stick design can form corner or L-shaped guarding. This reduces the minimum safety distance required, giving operators better access for loading and unloading parts.
Pharma Blister-Pack Unloaders
Precision alignment and easy mounting help ensure quick setup in hygiene-sensitive areas. LED indicators aid in diagnostics, reducing downtime during batch production while keeping operators protected.
Warehouse Conveyor Sorters
Tailored protective field heights safeguard specific areas like singulation or sorting points. The compact housing and standardized M12 connectors make integration simple, even in tight conveyor layouts.
