Access protection in the loading/unloading areas

The installation of a sensor in applications aimed at checking iron-plated parts during unloading phases. The application consists in detecting the movement of iron-plated parts on milling, lathe, shearing or laser cutting machines.
These objects are difficult to detect as they have very small dimensions and fall typically on unload channels that at times are 2 m wide.
The use of an AS1 area sensor can avoid installing many different sensors along the entire unloading channel whilst reducing cost and installation time.
Installation time is drastically reduced thanks to alignment ease and the absence of adjustment. The sensor, positioned at the end of the unloading channel, allows the automatic machine to control the unloading and thus counting of the parts.

Products involved

Access protection in the loading/unloading tile stations with access allowed to material moving vehicle through the Muting bars integrated in the light curtain. In this plant, the use of a retroreflex light curtain is particularly indicated. The cabling of only the active unit, both of the safety unit as well as the Muting sensors, allows an enormous reduction of costs and installation time.
