QUIPP Series 3400 Newspaper Stacker Safety Light Curtains are designed to prevent injury to an operator who inadvertently extends a hand or other object into the lower operating area of a stacker.

A non-visible wall of light is directed across the bundle deliver path(s) of a stacker. Should this light curtain be interrupted by any object, the stacker turntable is instantly disabled. An uncompensated stack may be discharged from the stacker but the stacker is not shut down. It simply continues to run in an uncompensating mode until the foreign object is removed from the curtain.

A Light Curtain Assembly includes an enclosed infra-red light source mounted vertically on one edge of the stacker frame with a light source receiver mounted opposite (see figure). Cabling to the two units is fully enclosed and bundle delivery is unimpeded by the assembly.
