A reliable and interference-proof safety sensor system is a prerequisite for high system availability and achievement of production targets. At the same time the increasing costs pressure of global competition also requires an economical safety system.

Satisfying these central requirements was the maxim with the development of the SOLID-2 type 2 Safety Light Curtains with integrated cyclical testing. These devices are characterized by their robust housing design and high interference immunity.

Various resolutions and functionalities enable cost-optimized solutions with the most varied applications. SOLID-2 is predestined for hand and arm protection and for detecting the presence of people.
