OMRON welcomed Scientific Technologies, Inc. (STI) to the Group in September 2006. Inspired by the company’s former name, our new category brand for machine safeguarding products imbues the three letters STI with the meaning of “Safety, Technology & Innovation”, reflecting OMRON’s desire to spark a revolution in the industry. By combining our advanced sensing, control and networking technologies with high-level product support, OMRON aims to help customers create safer workplaces for their employees and enjoy improved productivity as a result.
Safety light curtains are an advanced method of safeguarding personnel around many hazardous machines. Safety light curtains offer freedom, flexibility and reduced operator fatigue when compared with traditional guarding methods such as mechanical barriers, sliding gates and pull-back restraints. By reducing the need, where applicable, for solid guards, safety light curtains simplify routine tasks like machine setup, maintenance and repair.
Unlike photoelectric sensors, safety light curtains use self-checking circuitry to monitor the curtain for internal faults. If an internal fault is detected, the safety light curtain immediately sends a stop signal to the guarded machine. The light curtain then enters a lockout condition. Only after replacement of the failed component and an appropriate reset will the light curtain be restored to operating condition. Redundant safety outputs are another example of safety monitoring.
