Light curtain sensors and area sensors are two common types of sensors in daily life, so what is the difference between them? Below is a detailed analysis of the manufacturer of light curtain sensors.

The light curtain sensor is a sensor aimed at preventing personal accidents, while the area sensor is a sensor aimed at detecting the presence or absence of working parts. Therefore, area sensors cannot be used for personal safety purposes. The light curtain sensor is designed according to the requirements specified in the international standard IEC61496-1/2 (General Safety Standard for Sensors) and has been recognized by authoritative institutions. The regional sensor has not yet been recognized by authoritative institutions.

With the increasing awareness of human safety in the international community, in order to prevent accidents between vehicles, the demand for reliable sensors has also increased. Electronic light curtain sensors use dual internal circuits, self diagnostic functions, and other safety functions to ensure that they work in a safe direction when the sensor malfunctions.
