Black Max

Black Max safety light curtains are designed to protect personnel from point of operation hazards associated with industrial machinery such as power presses.

Available in lengths from 18" to 48" in 6" increments
Scan distances of 50 and 100 feet
Easy to install and use with mirrors for 2, 3, or 4 side guarding
Vari-blank (floating window) is standard
Automatic fixed blanking is standard
Phototransisitors with ambient light rejection circuitry
Optional extension models for horizontal guarding available
Perimeter guarding applications available in sizes from 36" to 72" in 12" increments
Diverse redundant microprocessor logic design
Meets OSHA and ANSI construction requirements for presence sensing devices

Benefits
Minimizes nuisance shutdowns due to ambient light, strobe lights and weld flashes.
Maximizes work area visibility.
Easy to install and align
Allows easy acess to scrap removal and die change-overs
Helps comply with OSHA regulations.
Provides flexibility by offering vari-blank and fixed-blanking as standard
Quick response time combined with small size allows for close mounting.
Single failure or fault will cause the system to signal the press control to stop the machine
Remote segments can be used to detect a person standing inside the primary sensing field Link can provide a variety of mounting brackets, as well as floor stands and mirrors for the Black Max Presence Sensing Devices.

Remote Extensions

Black Max remote segments are housed in separate enclosures from the main Black Max units. They can be used to create "L" shaped or other sensing field configurations when combined with the main transmitter and receiver units. Remote segments are extremely helpful when the safety distance requirements place the primary sensing field out far enough so as to allow a person to stand between the light and the hazard. The remote section will detect that person standing inside the sensing field. The remote sensors are on a 3" beam center, and are not to be used as your primary sensing field. Remote extensions for horizontal guarding are available from 6" to 51".

Please contact your local Link representative or contact Link Systems directly for remote segment applications.

NOTE: No light curtain will protect personnel from abnormal hazardous machine action(s) caused by wear, failure, or misadjustment of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic components of the machine upon which it is installed. Proper preventative maintenance is necessary to enhance the protection that light curtains provivde.
