They use several light beams to form an invisible safety light curtain in front of the danger area. When a machine operator interrupts one of these light beams, this will cause the safety outputs to switch off. Electro-sensitive protective equipment is used whenever

• a machine operator must interact with the machine in very brief cycles, e.g. at loading points of automatic assembly machines.
• dangerous work areas must be secured in a continuously interlinked material flow without disturbing the material flow.
• the danger area must be secured on machines without a safety enclosure, e.g. on sheet metal processing machines, on presses, on film winding machines and on paper cutting machines. When installed vertically, light grids and light curtains serve the purpose of access control for operating personnel. When installed horizontally, they secure areas or prevent people from stepping behind them.
