Hard-Guard Safety Light Curtains
 

The Hard-Guard Safety Light Curtain is designed for harsh industrial environments or outdoor applications. The photoelectric sensing units are enclosed in a tough, transparent acrylic housing or a rugged aluminum enclosure, depending on the model. Protected against water (including wash down), dust, dirt, oil, and many solvents, this optical barrier is suitable for the most hazardous automation and machine control applications. It is ideal for light or heavy industry, food processing, or outdoor safety and security systems.

The Hard-Guard Safety Light Curtain system includes a full-featured B-Series light curtain with a matching safety controller. It easily interfaces with a wide range of machine or security controls.
