Lower Cost Safety

Oct. 1, 2005
The EZ-Screen Type 2 light screen system is designed for lower risk, Type 2 applications (per IEC61496-1/-2, Category 2 per EN954-1).

Lower risk applications are those which will not cause serious bodily harm. The danger is limited to minor, normally reversible injuries including bumping, bruising, knock down, trapping but not crushing, and superficial cuts and abrasions. With its 30mm resolution, a hand or ankle is safely detected across long spans up to 15m. The EZ-Screen Type 2 expands the vendor’s offering of Type 4 safety light screens, grids and points into applications that require reliable operating safeguarding without the added expense of a Type4/Category 4 system, says the vendor. “With a list price starting at $525 for a complete system, the EZ-Screen Type 2 provides a solid safety solution for 30 percent less than comparable alternatives,” says Mike Carlson, technical manager for the vendor’s safety products.
