IFM Safety Curtain Set

• Ensuring operator safety around hazardous machinery in food processing lines.
• Preventing access to moving parts during automated production cycles.
• Monitoring entry points to restricted areas within a production facility.
• Implementing emergency stop functions when an intrusion is detected.
• Protecting personnel during machine setup or maintenance operations.

Detection Height

For this class of equipment, detection heights commonly range from 300mm to 2000mm, with the listed unit at 1250mm.

Operating Principle

Typically employs an optoelectronic system with a transmitter and receiver for area monitoring.

Response Time

Commonly in the low millisecond range, crucial for rapid machine shutdown.

Safety Category

Units of this type are typically designed to meet safety categories such as PLd or PLe according to EN ISO 13849-1.

Power Supply

Typically operates on a 24V DC supply, commonly found in industrial control systems.

Operating Temperature

Generally designed for industrial environments, with typical operating ranges from 0°C to 55°C.

Protection Rating

Commonly features an IP65 or IP67 rating, suitable for washdown environments in food processing.

• What is a safety curtain set used for?

  A safety curtain set creates a protective light barrier around hazardous machinery. If the barrier is broken, it triggers a safety stop, preventing injury to personnel.

• How do I know if this safety curtain is compatible with my existing machinery?

• Are these units difficult to install?

• What maintenance is required for a safety curtain?

• Can this safety curtain be used in a wet or washdown environment?

Access control and production support systems are valued for their role in maintaining facility security, hygiene compliance, and operational efficiency. Buyers typically prioritise units with robust construction, clear audit trails, and compatibility with existing infrastructure. When purchasing used equipment, inspectors should verify electronic components function reliably, examine wear on access mechanisms, and confirm software licensing remains valid. Industry sentiment favours systems demonstrating consistent performance records and straightforward maintenance requirements, particularly those serving food safety standards and minimising production downtime.
