Can safety light curtains be used in all machine guarding applications?

Safety light curtains cannot be used in all applications due to limitations of reaction time between machine stop time and the lack of machine barriers and/or distances to hazard. Light curtains are a relevant solution in areas with distance to hazards based on the time machines stop when triggered or machines with braking mechanisms. To determine or validate if light curtains can be used, working with a company that is experienced in turnkey machine guarding or a regulatory safety company with the equipment to test the stop time distance.
