Light Curtain and Photoelectric Blocking Device – PBL
Personnel entering Light Curtain protected areas are at risk of unexpected restart; this can be prevented with a light curtain blocking device.
Pneumatic Monitored Safety Valves
Pneumatic Monitored Safety Valves guarantee safety in systems where residual energy from pneumatic operations could cause injury
Push Internal Release (PIR)
Push Internal Release PIR helps to restrict access over conveyors, rolling roads, and moving production lines without stopping the process.
