Safe entry/exit June 1st 2005 Leuze Mayser‘s electronic safe Entry-Exit system offers simple plug-and-play connectivity of safety barriers to their associated controls.
Although beams from the barriers pass directly across a production or packaging line, they do not react to the product or package itself, only to people passing into the area of the hazardous machinery.
Muting sensors momentarily negate the action of the safety beam as the item passes. When the load has passed through the barrier, the safety operation is returned to normal guarding mode.
Cyklop (UK), for example, uses the system for turnkey strapping projects. David Hearn, MD, says “It is proving to be the ideal invisible guard across the in-feed and out-feed conveyors to our highspeed strapping systems.” For each application Leuze Mayser builds a bespoke safety solution interfacing all control and controlling elements, and supplying Cyklop with components that simply plug together, eliminating any on-site configuration.
