Quality and robustness were the highest priorities when the new cegard/Mini light curtain was conceived. The huge interest shown in the product by hundreds of visitors to the CEDES’ stand at the recent Interlift ’07 exhibition suggests the product is set to be a major success.

Gerhard Bräuer, Product Manager with CEDES’ Business Unit Elevators, describes the evolution of the product as follows: “cegard/Mini is the fruit of 20 years’ experience in developing monitoring detection to safeguard industrial elevator professional doors. It enables us to combine the most modern technology with proven engineering in one light professional curtain.”

According to Mr Bräuer, cegard/Mini is a light curtain that operates extremely reliably under harsh condition, not least thanks to its metal housing. Cegard/Mini enables elevators to be safeguarded very cost-effectively by utilizing components that are produced in large quantities. Thanks to the compact design and integrated controller, together with its simple plug-and-play connectivity, the light curtain is quickly installed and operational.

The height of the protected zone can be set at either 1,582 or 1,822 mm, according to requirements. When the system is running, the readily visible integrated LED-display shows the system’s status.

“cegard/Mini is a safety light curtain, which offers unparalleled levels of quality and robustness. The system offers the elevator operator everything needed to reliably elevator doors,” Gerhard Bräuer concludes.
