Floor Protection of a Sliding Rack with Safety Through-Beam Sensors
Sliding racks are used in logistics centers to make optimum use of storage capacities. Before or during each shelf movement, it must be ensured that no employee’s feet are under the shelf. Due to the small installation space, a safe through-beam sensor is used for this purpose, which reliably monitors the area directly above the floor. If the light beam is interrupted, the movement of the shelf is prevented or stopped. A stainless steel housing additionally protects the sensors from harsh ambient conditions in the floor area.
Safety Through-Beam Sensors
The safety through-beam sensors protect areas in hazardous industrial environments. They have visible red light, a large aperture angle and a test input. TÜV-certified through-beam sensors can be used with a suitable analysis module up to performance level c in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13849-1.
