Safety Sensors

Safety sensors are devices designed to detect the presence or absence of objects or people within a specific area to prevent accidents or injuries, especially in industrial environments. They work by emitting signals—like light beams, sound waves, or electromagnetic fields—and detecting if these signals are interrupted or reflected. If an unauthorized presence or obstacle is detected, the sensor triggers a safety response, such as stopping a machine. They enhance safety by ensuring machinery operates only when the designated area is clear, reducing risks for workers and maintaining safe operation protocols.
