THE ISSUE
Machining Center
In a large machining center, workers operate on hundreds of CNC machines on a daily basis, moving heavy and bulky parts in and out of the CNC machines frequently.
As seen in the above illustration, the CNC machine comes with a control panel, that automates the opening and closing of the machine door.
If a worker accidentally obstructs the path of the closing door, it will lead to a serious human-machine accident.

THE SOLUTION
Installed against the edges of the CNC Machines’ doors, OMRON Safety Light Curtain effectively prevents the automated door from closing, when it detects an obstacle in between.
As such, production workers can operate in a safer working environment, while the company’s management reduces its potential risks and losses arising from accidents.
