Cyklop rates Leuze’s Entry-Exit
August 1st 2005

David Hearn, the MD of strapping machine supplier Cyklop, says Leuze Mayser’s safe Entry-Exit system is “excellent equipment”.

“It is proving to be the ideal invisible guard across the in-feed and out-feed conveyors to our high speed strapping systems,” he says.

The Entry- Exit system offers a simple plug and play concept for connectivity of safety barriers to their associated controls – and Leuze attributes its success to the simplicity of installation.

Although beams from the safety barrier pass directly across a production or packaging line, they do not react to the product or package itself, only to people passing into the area of the hazardous machinery. This achieved using muting sensors which momentarily negate the action of the safety beam as the item passes; during this period access to the hazardous machine is blocked by the actual load. When the load has passed through the barrier, the safety operation is returned to its normal guarding mode.
