Safety Standards – IEC 61496 & ANSI / UL 61496
Safety light curtains should be selected and installed according to
IEC 61496-1 & 61496-2 and ANSI / UL 61496-1 & 61496-2.
The safety “TYPE” and performance level of the light curtain must match the risk category of the machine.
Optional safety functions listed in Annex A of IEC 61496-1 must comply with the Annex A requirements.
Working Principle of Safety Light Curtain | Safety Light Curtain SLC-1030
A safety light curtain or Safety Light Curtain SLC-1030 consists of two parts: a transmitter and a receiver.
- The transmitter houses multiple infrared LEDs that create parallel beams of IR light.
- The receiver contains matching photodetectors that continuously monitor each beam.
- As long as all beams are received, the controller keeps the machine in the “safe to run” state.
- When any object (hand, finger, body or workpiece) interrupts one or more beams,
the light curtain output changes state and the controller immediately sends a
stop signal to the machine safety circuit or raises an alarm.

✅ How It Works
How Safety Light Curtain Works
A safety light curtain has a transmitter and receiver that create an invisible infrared beam field. When any beam is interrupted (hand, finger, body entry), the system sends a signal to stop or block the machine instantly.
This ensures hands-free safety protection without physical barriers, improving both operator safety and productivity.
