| Abstract |
The advantages and disadvantages of various kinds of photoelectric guards for fast-moving power-operated doors are compared. A new kind of safety light curtain is presented which is cost-efficient and has been successfully tested in practical operation. The new light curtain provides increased safety for doors operating at speeds up to 4m/s. Its main feature is the blanking of light beams intercepted by the door based on the speed of the moving door. |
