Minimal effort, maximum safety – new generation of optoelectronic safety devices from Wieland Electric

With its new generation of safety light grids and curtains, Wieland Electric offers intelligent solutions for efficient personal protection in modern production and logistics environments. The devices combine maximum safety with ease of use and robust construction – ideal for applications where flexibility, productivity and protection are equally important.

The SLG4 series safety light grids have been specially designed for access protection in large work areas. With ranges of up to 70 metres, they reliably secure even extensive zones – for example, in production cells, robotics workstations or in intralogistics. Thanks to plug & play installation and configuration without additional software, the systems are ready for use in no time. Clearly visible status LEDs facilitate on-site diagnosis and minimise downtime, while the robust aluminium housing and IP65/67 protection rating ensure long-lasting operation even under demanding industrial conditions.

The SLC4 series safety light curtains are the ideal solution for finger and hand protection in immediate danger zones. They enable safe access to machines without compromising productivity – ideal for applications requiring frequent access. Advanced functions such as muting ensure safe material flow, while cascading options allow combined vertical access and horizontal presence monitoring with just one system. Here, too, the simple, software-free commissioning and intuitive on-site diagnosis via LED displays are impressive.

With this practical combination of safety, efficiency and ease of use, the new light grids and light curtains from Wieland Electric offer a future-proof solution for a wide range of industrial applications. In conjunction with other safety components from the Wieland portfolio – from safety relays and controllers to complete system solutions – the result is a comprehensive safety concept that provides optimum protection for both people and machines.

Experience the new safety light grids and curtains from Wieland Electric live at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg – Hall 9, Stand 440.
