Wuppertal, 25. November 2025. Schmersal has extended its range of optoelectronic protective devices to reliably safeguard access points in potentially explosive atmospheres. With the new EX-SLC/SLG440 series, safety light curtains and safety light grids are now available in an Ex version. This allows the highest safety standards to be combined with proven quality.
There is an increased risk of explosion in numerous production areas, for example in the chemical industry, in refineries or in paint shops where flammable coating materials are processed. Dust can also pose an explosion hazard in sectors where bulk materials are processed - for example in the animal feed or recycling industry, in sawmills or in grain processing plants.
