Applications for pinch protection

Correct light curtains for elevators with automatic doors

The Scanner SIL2-PL "D" is less susceptible to interference, making it more reliable and durable than traditional light curtains. It's a more flexible and robust alternative, ideal for hazardous environments such as elevators and industrial facilities.

Correctly selected application for safety light curtains

Light curtains detect objects or people through an invisible light zone. If a light is interrupted, moving parts, such as doors, stop to prevent damage or injury.

Cat 2 and SIL2 guarantee reliable operation with minimal chance of failure according to strict safety standards.

New

Alternative to light screens

The SIL2-PL "D" safety light scanner prevents elevator doors from closing in the presence of obstacles, such as people. This is just one application; Sensor Solution offers solutions for various situations, all with SIL2 and PL "D" certification for maximum safety and reliability.


Applications for detection

3D motion detection

Automatic elevator opening detection ensures that doors only open when someone or something is nearby, for example, a person moving from the hallway to the elevator. This can be achieved with sensors such as radar or time-of-flight cameras, which accurately detect and prevent unauthorized opening. This is just one application; Sensor Solution offers customized solutions for various situations.

Applications for presence or motion sensors

AX4.1: smart detection for elevator doors

The AX4.1 is a radar that accurately detects the presence of people or objects at automatic elevator doors. The doors open only when necessary, increasing safety and preventing unnecessary movement. The radar requires no demolition work and is easily integrated into existing systems.

Reliable operation in any environment

Thanks to adjustable detection fields, the AX4.1 also works in situations with:

  • Busy environments
  • Different types of doors
  • Weather conditions such as rain, snow or sunlight

The sensor works through materials such as glass and plastic, making it flexible and robust.


Capture Pro

The Capture Pro motion detector ensures that automatic elevator doors only open when motion is detected, such as when someone approaches the elevator. This increases efficiency and prevents accidental door openings. This is just one of the many solutions Sensor Solution offers for optimizing elevator applications.

TOF/Niva

The TOF/Niva Time-of-Flight sensor detects the presence or movement of people in the elevator car using light pulses that measure the time it takes for a person to return to the sensor. This ensures accurate detection, even in dark or complex environments, and prevents doors from closing while someone is still inside. This is just one of the many solutions Sensor Solution offers to improve elevator safety and efficiency.
