Safety Light Curtains

Senyd safety light curtain is a type of safety device used in industrial settings to protect workers from hazardous machinery. It consists of a transmitter and receiver unit that emit an array of infrared light beams across an opening or perimeter around a machine. If an object or person breaks the beams, the light curtain sends a signal to the machine to stop or slow down, preventing any potential accidents or injuries.Safety light curtains are commonly used in areas where workers need access to machinery or equipment, such as robotic cells, press brakes, or assembly lines. They are designed to detect any intrusion into a specified detection zone and provide a quick response to ensure the safety of personnel. Safety light curtains are an essential safety measure in industrial environments to comply with safety regulations and prevent accidents.


Senyd Rotary Encoder

Rotary encoders are required wherever physical quantities such as rotational speed, angle of rotation, velocity or acceleration are to be monitored. In combination with cable pulls, they can also measure linear movements and lengths.

Rotary encoders from Senyd are used in a wide variety of industries—from mechanical and plant engineering to material handling and the renewable energy sector. Whether heavy-duty, offshore or hazardous areas: Senyd offers the right incremental or absolute rotary encoder for all application requirements. 

With Senyd you can reliably record every movement in your application.

Optical vs. Magnetic Scanning

High resolutions can be easily achieved with Senyd optical rotary encoders. A code disk with radial slits is used for this purpose. An LED sends light through the radial slits to a receiver located on the other side of the code disc. The rotation of the disk modulates the light, and the receiver converts it into an electrical signal.

The magnetic rotary encoders from Senyd are particularly robust and therefore ideally suited for use in harsh environments. Due    to energy harvesting, the magnetic absolute rotary encoders do not require an external power supply to save their current position. As a result, they perform reliably even in the event of power failures.
