is available for mounting the tower light in a convenient location. The
right angle bracket is made of 12-ga. stainless steel and has curved
mounting slots for versatility and orientation.

The tower light interface box provides a convenient means of mounting and wiring the tower light. The LLD-1631 standard box comes with enough
terminals to accommodate five (5) lights or four (4) lights with an alarm in the tower light assembly. This control box is approximately 8” x 6” x 6”.

DESCRIPTION
No-Go Indicator Light Mounting
Box and Lens Projectors
Most point-of-operation light curtains will not detect workpieces that
present a profile of 1/4” or less. However, if the workpiece profile becomes
bowed enough to be seen in the plane of light, it will be detected.
On press brake operations, the machine will not start a stroke because
the workpiece quite often protrudes through the plane of light and is
detected. This becomes frustrating for operators because they have to
look to the right or to the left for the red and green indicator lights on
the transmitter or receiver to determine if the obstruction is detected.
To avoid frustrating the operator, a large red no-go indicator light can
be installed on the slide and in the peripheral sight of the operator. This
light allows the operator to hold the workpiece in the correct position. At
the same time, the no-go light will let them know if their hands or the
workpiece is being detected by the light curtain. In some cases, the red
no-go indicator light can be used to avoid channel blanking.
The red no-go indicator light has a low-profile design. It is protected
from workpieces which bend into the light, and is easily wired into
existing light curtain systems.
The no-go indicator light includes the light, the mounting box, and
instructions on how to wire it into the light curtain control system.
TEST RODS FOR EZ-SCREEN LIGHT CURTAINS
A test rod is included with each shipment of an EZ-Screen light curtain
system. When a light curtain is used for safeguarding, a test rod
must be used to test the light curtain after each setup or after any
maintenance work performed—refer to pages 67-68 for a sample
function-testing checklist for light curtains.
