Light grids for gates & industrial doors – contactless safety with a system

Light curtains are modern safety solutions for automatic gates, doors, and industrial systems . They detect obstacles contactlessly using infrared light fields and immediately stop the gate movement – ​​ensuring maximum personal protection and safe processes in both residential and commercial areas.

What are light grids?

• Non-contact obstacle detection: Immediate stop if the light field is interrupted
• Versatile: For sectional doors, roller doors, sliding doors & high-speed doors
• Robust technology: IP67 – protected against dust, water & shock
• Intelligent detection: Ambient light-resistant models such as GridScan Pro 22
• Retrofittable: Compatible with common gate controls & safety circuits

Areas of application for light grids

• Industrial halls & production facilities
• Logistics centers & ramp areas
• Commercial & private garage doors
• Security areas in parking garages & loading zones

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a light grid in gate systems?

A light curtain is a multi-beam infrared safety system that detects obstacles before the door can touch them. It serves as an active closing edge safety device .

What is the difference to a light barrier?

While a light barrier only monitors one line , a light grid secures an entire area – e.g. the entire gate height or passage width.

Can I retrofit a light curtain?

Yes – our systems are retrofittable and compatible with many control systems . They are usually connected directly to the control system or in the safety circuit.

How weather-resistant are the light grids?

Our light grids have IP67 protection and are therefore dustproof, waterproof and shock-resistant – ideal for outdoor use on industrial or garage doors.

Which models are particularly recommended?

The GridScan Pro 22, for example, offers long ranges, ambient light resistance, and easy diagnostics via LED. Ideal for demanding industrial environments.

Definition and basic principle

Light gratings are optical devices that can split light into different wavelengths. They consist of many parallel lines or slits that allow the light to scatter in different directions. The main principle of this technology is based on the diffraction of light, and therefore light gratings are often used in spectroscopy to analyze the chemical composition of substances. This technique is very effective because it allows for high precision in measuring wavelengths.

Materials and construction

Most light grids are made of transparent materials such as glass or plastic, which are treated with fine lines. These lines are crucial because they control the diffraction of light. Depending on the requirements, light grids can be manufactured in various sizes and with different line thicknesses. This makes them versatile and suitable for use in laboratories, educational institutions, and even in industry.

Areas of application of light grids

Light grids are used in many fields. In chemistry, they are used to analyze molecules, while in physics, they are used to study light waves. Light grids are also used in artificial intelligence and image processing. This is because they help filter and analyze information, allowing us to make better decisions. Therefore, the importance of light grids cannot be underestimated.
