How Do WECO Elevator Light Curtains Prevent Accidents?

Elevator door opening and closing is the most vulnerable part of the ride. Passengers can be injured by the doors while entering or exiting, items (such as strollers or luggage) can become trapped, and even children can reach out and cause accidents. These risks are directly mitigated by light curtains.

The light curtain's operating principle is: transmitters and receivers are installed on either side of the elevator door, generating dozens to hundreds of dense infrared beams. When any object (whether a person, clothing, or small object) blocks any of these beams, the light curtain immediately sends a signal to the elevator control system, causing the doors to stop closing and open in the opposite direction.

WECO light curtains are a product of Ningbo WECO Optoelectronics Co., Ltd., one of the world's largest manufacturers of elevator light curtains.

WECO light curtains offer the following advantages:
1. Stable power supply: They utilize a stable 220V power supply and can be directly connected to the elevator's main power supply, simplifying power supply adaptation and enhancing stability.
2. Strong anti-interference capabilities: They offer exceptional anti-interference capabilities, maintaining stable detection performance and achieving "zero false positives" even in the presence of vibration or electromagnetic interference during elevator operation.
3. Easy Installation: Featuring a modular design, complete accessories, and clear instructions, installation simply requires attaching the light curtain transmitter and receiver to either side of the elevator door and connecting the power cord. Flexible mounting locations accommodate a wide range of elevator door designs.
4. Fast Response: Highly sensitive, the elevator door quickly detects obstacles and reopens, with a response speed nearly as fast as the original light curtains found in high-end elevator brands.
5. Low Power Consumption: Long-term operation will not cause overheating, providing enhanced safety.

With its advantages of stability, interference immunity, and convenience, the WECO light curtains precisely mitigate safety risks in the elevator door area, providing both a reliable line of defense and a solid guarantee for passenger safety.
