Introducing the Light Safety Curtain
1. The Working Principle of the Safety Light Curtain GN1800
A safety light curtain, also recognized as a safety grating and photoelectric protection device, is an innovative system primarily composed of multiple sets of precisely aligned transmitters and receivers. Each transmitter emits a beam of infrared light, while its corresponding receiver captures it, forming an unbroken sequence of beams. When an object or a human body penetrates the light curtain, a portion of this light is interrupted, altering the signal received by the receiver. Upon detecting such a change, the safety light curtain promptly communicates a signal to the control system, prompting an immediate response. This response could involve reversing the direction of a rising door, opening a freight elevator door, or halting the operation of machinery through emergency braking, thus preempting potential accident-related injuries.

2. The Characteristics of the GN1800 Safety Light Curtain
- Object Detection: The GN1800 excels at detecting objects larger than the beam spacing as they enter the light curtain, thus providing an unyielding shield of safety for both humans and objects.
- Rapid Response: The instant an object is detected within its range, the safety light curtain reacts with remarkable speed, significantly mitigating the risk of accidents.
- Effortless Installation: Installing the safety light curtain is a straightforward process that does not require extensive modifications to existing equipment, thereby ensuring cost-effectiveness.
- Exceptional Stability: Engineered with cutting-edge technology and superior materials, the safety light curtain boasts a long lifespan and outstanding stability, providing enduring safety assurance for enterprises.
3. The Application Scenarios of the GN1800 Safety Light Curtain
The GN1800 is typically mounted on both sides of doors, escalators, or mechanical equipment. In scenarios where a door descends, an elevator closes, or equipment is in motion, if an individual or vehicle enters the light curtain's range, the system immediately detects and emits a signal. This causes the door to ascend again, the elevator to reopen, or the equipment to cease operation or initiate emergency braking, thereby circumventing the risk of injuries due to crushing.
The GN1800 safety light curtain finds its application in a diverse array of settings, such as:
- High-speed doors
- Sliding doors
- Rolling doors
- Vertical closing telescopic doors
- Freight elevators
- Automated production equipment
And numerous other scenarios.
4. Conclusion
The GN1800 safety light curtain stands as a robust protective measure, integral to safeguarding both human lives and vehicles in industrial settings like automated entrances, exits, and production equipment. Its role in ensuring safety is indispensable.
