    Safety light curtains are one of the most important protective devices used in industrial machinery. Their purpose is to immediately stop dangerous machine motion when a person or object enters the protected area. However, for the system to function correctly, it is crucial to install the light curtain at the correct safety distance from the hazardous zone. If the curtain is installed too close to the machine, the operator may still reach the dangerous part before the machine stops....

    What is Optical Data Transmission? The ST100 Series Optical Data Transmission Sensor is an optical data transmission module that uses spatial light as the transmission medium. Its core components include optics, mechanics, circuitry, and software systems. During operation, the sensor converts the data stream from the host computer into laser pulse signals, which are emitted outward by the laser emitter. These laser pulses propagate through free space to the receiver. The receiver detects the...
