Video Cases: Safety Light Curtains & Press Feeding Automation in Action
Real machines, not renderings. Watch how a safety light curtain is installed and aligned on a punch press, what zero blind-zone and waterproof IP68 curtains look like in the field, how a light curtain interlocks with a guard-locking door switch through a safety relay — and how pneumatic automatic feeders move coil stock through a stamping press so hands never enter the die area. Every video links to the matching product page so you can go straight from footage to datasheet.
Safety Light Curtain Application Videos
Installation, finger protection, robot cell perimeter guarding, washdown-rated curtains, interlock wiring and measuring gratings — grouped here so you can compare how each protection type behaves on a live machine.
Installing a Safety Light Curtain on a Punch Press — Mounting, Alignment & Test
Watch a safety light curtain being fitted to a mechanical power press: bracket mounting on the press frame, emitter-to-receiver alignment, and the final interrupt test before production restarts. A practical reference if you are retrofitting punch press guarding to pass a safety inspection.

Punch Press Infrared Guarding — Light Curtain Stopping the Stroke in Real Time
A running power press protected by an infrared safety light curtain: the moment a hand breaks the beams, the stroke stops. Shows the reaction you should expect from properly wired point-of-operation guarding on stamping and blanking presses.

Finger-Protection Light Curtain with Fine Beam Pitch for Small Press Openings
Fine-resolution safety light curtain demonstrated on a narrow die opening where finger access is the hazard. Relevant when your risk assessment calls for 14 mm detection capability rather than hand or body resolution.

Pre-Wired Safety Light Curtain Kit with Aviation Connectors — Unbox to Hook-Up
A DQA safety light curtain set shipped pre-wired with M12-style aviation plugs: what arrives in the box and how quickly the emitter, receiver and cabling connect. Useful for machine builders estimating installation time per press.
Zero Blind-Zone Safety Light Curtain — Protection Right to the Housing End
The DQO design places the first beam only millimetres from the end cap, closing the unprotected gap that standard curtains leave at top and bottom. Shown on a fixture where the workpiece sits close to the curtain end.
Waterproof Safety Light Curtain for Washdown & Outdoor Machinery (IP65 / IP68 Option)
DQR/DQRF waterproof safety light curtain running in a wet environment. Applies to food-processing washdown lines, coolant-heavy machining and semi-outdoor gates where a standard IP65 housing is not enough.
Robot Cell Perimeter Guarding with Infrared Safety Light Curtains
Infrared light curtains fencing the working envelope of an industrial robot: entry through the curtain drops the safety circuit before a person can reach the arm. An alternative to full hard guarding when parts flow in and out of the cell.

Multi-Zone Area Protection Around Machines & Conveyors
A DQSA multi-area light curtain monitoring several zones around a machine and its conveyor infeed. Demonstrates zone-based protection where material must pass but people must not.

Safety Light Curtain + Guard-Locking Door Switch Interlock — Wiring Demo
Light curtain and safety door lock wired through one safety relay: the door stays locked while the hazard runs, and breaking the curtain drops the same safety circuit. Shows the interlock logic most inspectors ask to see documented.

Diffuse-Reflection Light Curtain for Part Counting & Edge Detection
A single-sided diffuse-reflection curtain counting parts and picking up workpiece edges — no separate receiver bar to align. Fits stations where only one side of the opening is available for mounting.
Measuring Light Curtain for Dimension Detection & Piece Counting on a Line
A measuring light curtain reading object length, width and height while counting pieces in flight. This is the non-safety sibling of a protective curtain — used for dimensioning, sorting and volume scanning, not for personnel protection.

3D Animation: How Light Curtains, Door Locks, Safety Mats & LiDAR Guard a Machine
A three-minute animated tour of a guarded machine: safety light curtains at the opening, guard-locking switches on the doors, pressure-sensitive mats on the floor and a laser scanner watching the approach zone — and how each one feeds the stop circuit.

Pneumatic Feeder & Punch Press Automation Videos
Automatic feeding is the other half of press safety: when an air feeder or servo feeder indexes the strip, the operator's hands stay outside the point of operation. These clips show coil-fed press lines — uncoiler, straightener and feeder — that we equip with light-curtain and photoelectric guarding.
Pneumatic Automatic Feeder on a Pressing Machine — A50 / A100 / BX150 Running
An air feeder with pneumatic clamping advancing strip stock into the die at a fixed pitch, cycle after cycle. Automatic feeding keeps hands out of the point of operation — the feed area itself is then guarded with a safety light curtain.

Coil-Fed Punch Press Line — Automatic Feeding Into the Die
Coil stock feeding automatically into a punch press. On coil-fed stamping lines like this, operators only intervene for setup and jams — which is exactly when interlocked guarding and light curtains have to take over.

Press Feeding Peripherals Working Together — Uncoiler, Straightener & Feeder
The three stages of a stamping feed line in one view: the uncoiler pays off the coil, the straightener flattens it, and the feeder indexes it into the press. Understanding this flow helps you place guarding where people actually reach in.

Automatic Feeder Cycling on a Stamping Press — Consistent Pitch Feeding
Close-up of an automatic feeder holding pitch accuracy on a running stamping press. Steady feeding raises output per shift and removes the manual hand-feeding that causes most press injuries.

Relay & Timer Module Demo Videos
Hands-on demos of our delay relay and I/O modules: potentiometer and menu setup, sensor trigger wiring, MODBUS-485 control from a PC, and micro-PLC programming — each clip links back to the module's datasheet page so you can check the exact specs after watching.
B2J0101 Power-On Delay Relay Module Demo — Set the Delay with One Potentiometer (5-24V)
Power the B2J0101 and the relay pulls in after the preset time — no trigger wiring at all. The clip shows the single-potentiometer adjustment and the relay switching a load across the 5–24 V supply range, the simplest way to stagger start-up of pumps, fans or control power.
B2J0201 Trigger Delay Relay Module — Signal-Triggered Timing Demo (High/Low Level Input)
A sensor pulse starts the timing cycle: the video walks through high-level and low-level trigger wiring on the B2J0201 and shows the relay following each trigger with the set delay. Watch this before wiring an NPN or PNP sensor to a delay module for the first time.
B2J0601 Intelligent Delay Relay — 12 Timing Modes, 20ppm Accuracy, One-Button Setup
One compact module covering 12 timing programs — on-delay, off-delay, cycling, one-shot and more — set from a single button and held to 20 ppm clock accuracy. The demo steps through mode selection and shows a photoelectric sensor driving the input.

B2J0302 MODBUS RS-485 Relay I/O Module — Wiring & PC Control Demo (MODBUS-RTU)
RS-485 A/B wiring, slave address setup and live relay switching from a PC MODBUS-RTU master — the whole path from terminal block to register write. A practical starting point if you are putting relay outputs on a 485 bus for PLC or SCADA control.
A1J0101 Optocoupler Isolated Input Relay Module — Wiring & Trigger Demo (5-24V DC)
The A1J0101 takes a weak or noisy 5–24 V DC signal through an optocoupler-isolated input and switches a clean relay contact on the other side. The demo shows the input wiring and the isolation boundary that protects your controller from the load circuit.
E4J0101 Digital Display Delay Relay — Menu Setup & Trigger Demo (USB Configurable)
Digit-by-digit menu setup on the E4J0101 digital display delay relay, then a live trigger run — and the same parameters can be loaded over USB from a PC. Useful when a machine needs exact, repeatable delay values instead of a potentiometer guess.
E4J0102 Clock Timer Relay Module — Real-Time Clock Scheduling & Voltage-Detect Demo
The E4J0102 adds a real-time clock to the delay relay: schedule outputs by time of day and let the voltage-detect input react to supply changes. The demo shows a scheduled switching cycle and the voltage-triggered response back to back.
