I am in the begining stages of a project and I was just looking for some opinions.
The gist of the operation is
1-Bricks are pushed down a long rollerbed via a pneumatic pusher
2-A forklift picks them up.
A- I need to create a light curtain BARRIER so when the fork lift is picking up the cubes of brick the PUSHER does NOT PUSH( thus smashing cubes into a moving cube thats on the forklift.
B- The light curtain needs to auto reset. As ONLY the foklift has access to the light curtain at the loading area and once in this area the foklift will be blockingthe light curtain the entire time.
Would this be considered a safety light curtain install? Or just a light barrier to momentarially pause a movement in the machine?
