The curtains incorporate on-board mute initiating systems for palletizing and conveyor-dependent applications. Because of two mute initiating sensors placed on the packaging line, packages and pallets can pass through the light curtain without stopping any machinery. The machinery will be stopped, however, if a person tries to pass through the light curtain.
