Safety Light Curtains | Pinnacle Systems
Safety light curtains are opto-electronic safety devices used for machine safeguarding.   Light curtains protect plant personnel by guarding the dangerous point of operation and nip points of industrial machinery.  Our safety light curtain products offer low cost, more features, long product warranties and quick delivery.   The light curtains’ safety classification is Type 4 / Category 4 and are control reliable.


Pinnacle Systems designs, manufactures and provides service after the sale of our family/series of safety light curtains.   When properly installed, a safety light curtain protects the machine operator and passerby by sending a series of invisible infrared light beams across an area to be guarded by determining whether or not the light beam(s) are blocked.  Our safety light curtains have been time tested to be extremely dependable, feature intensive and to provide a cost effective solution for solving complex machine safeguarding projects while protecting your most valuable resource, the employee.


The safety light curtain is relied on to protect the safety of factory personnel all over the world. Yet, although the technology was developed almost 70 years ago, many applications may still not be making full use of its capabilities. I have tried to re-appraise what light curtains could be contributing to your machinery safety, factory control, and productivity with a breakdown of the functions and features that are currently available. The light curtain has become so ubiquitous, that it is all too easy to regard it as a simple on/off device - a fail-safe, fit-and-forget substitute for protective fencing. However, an expanding and versatile range of light curtains has evolved to perform multiple functions and they can contribute positively to productivity and integrate with factory local area networks to support better plant-wide automation.
