What They Do:

Light curtains are an advanced method of
safeguarding personnel around many hazardous
machines.  They are more efficient than customary
measures, such as sliding gates, mechanical barriers,
etc. Essentially, they are an active optoelectronic
device which contains one or more transmitting
elements and one or more receiving elements which
together form a sensing field.

Primary Types and How They Work:

Light machines have different conditions and modes
under which they operate.  Depending on the need
and the condition in which it is specified. A
photoelectric transmitter projects an array of
synchronized parallel infrared light beams to
a receiver unit.  When an opaque object interrupts
one or more of the beams the control logic of the
curtain sends a stop signal to the guarded machine. 
The transmitter unit contains LEDs which emit pulses
of the invisible infrared light when energized by
the curtains timing and logic circuitry.

The control logic, user controls and diagnostic
indicators may be contained in a separate enclosure
or be enclosed in the same housing as the receiver.
They are often categorized by the type of guarding
they require ie: Minimum Safe Distance,
Primary Control Elements, Operation Range, etc.
