Which light curtain suits you best?
By dividing the light curtains into two different categories: detection and measurement, you can find the right product for your application. Scroll down to read the categories.
Detection light curtains
The purpose of a detecting light curtain is to monitor a defined area with the help of invisible, infrared light beams. The light curtain system consists of a transmitter and receiver. If any beam occurs between transmitter or receiver, it will be registered by the internal control unit and signalled via the push-pull output.
With DUOmetric detecting light curtains, the control unit is integrated into the transmitter and receiver profiles making our light curtains compact, slim and powerful!
Door and doll / lock monitoring
Our light curtains for doors can be built up to a monitoring height of 6 metres offering safety and comfort.
Material handling
The automated transport of goods requires smooth process operation. With products from DUOmetric, it becomes possible to streamline processes for logistics and control with transparency of the process.
System for access sports
Detecting light curtains are also used to control the flow of people. They are built into automated boarding gates or used for direction detection in security door systems.
Measurement light curtains
Measurement light curtains work within a defined surveillance area with several invisible infrared light beams. The light curtains consist of a transmitter and a receiver in thin anodized aluminium profile and an external control unit.
These light curtains work according to the principle of evaluating each individual beam detected by the external control unit. As a result, complex measurement tasks can be carried out and the control unit activates the corresponding outputs and digital data transmission.
Our products can provide an accurate measurement of an object's height, length or width.
Contour monitoring
With measurement light curtains, you can detect contours on objects with varying shapes.
Poke the yoke
Measurement light curtains that detect access to and picking from shelving systems. They can also help detect and prevent pick/place errors in your warehouse logistics or in manufacturing and commissioning.
POSITION DETECTION
With prominence in large production machines, for example in metal, paper and fabric manufacturing, benefit from using DUOMetric light curtains for slack and sagging detection or edge control.
DETECTION and COUNTING OF SMALL OBJECTS
No matter what you need to detect or calculate in your logistics solution, there is a solution.
Measurement
Our products can provide an accurate measurement of an object's height, length or width.

GATES AND ACCESS
Non safety light curtains are ideal for monitoring and securing doors and gates. They are an important component for every manufacturer of industrial doors. Factors such as range, surveillance height and protection against external influences play an important role in these applications. The light curtains must always work reliably to exclude possible malfunctions and damage.
Application Examples:
- Gate monitoring
- Door monitoring
