STI safety light curtains are utilized by many automotive manufacturers to provide a safety zone around hazardous production machinery. The concept is simple, yet extremely effective. When an opaque object such as a hand or workpiece interrupts at least one transmitted infrared beam defining the guard zone, the light curtain controller sends a "stop" signal to the protected machinery. Safety light curtains such as the MegaSafe MG4600 operate on this principle. The MG4600 Series are designed to meet the stringent safeguarding requirements of automotive applications, including those of Ford and DaimlerChrysler, as well as the Ford EL4 Standard.
