Elevator safety is a top priority for both passengers and building owners. A crucial innovation in this area is the elevator light curtain—a modern solution that enhances convenience, safety, and compliance with current codes. Let’s explore how light curtains can transform your elevator operations.
What Are Elevator Light Curtains?
Elevator light curtains are advanced sensors installed in elevator doorways that project invisible beams across the entrance. These beams detect when a passenger or object is in the door’s path, preventing the doors from closing.
When beams are blocked for an extended period, the nudging feature activates. This mechanism gently closes the doors at a reduced speed and torque, alerting individuals that the doors need to close while ensuring no harm to passengers or damage to property.
