Introducing the Light Curtain Retrofit Kit

Upgrade Your Door's Safety Without Replacing It

Traditional photocell safety systems have a blind spot. They only detect objects passing through a single fixed point in the doorway, which leaves gaps in coverage and creates a higher risk of undetected people, forklifts, or equipment. With more than 47,000 Dynaco doors already installed across Europe, many of them are now reaching the age where a safety upgrade makes sense, without the cost and disruption of replacing the entire door.

The Solution: Light Curtain Retrofit Kit

The Light Curtain Retrofit Kit upgrades your existing Dynaco door by replacing the traditional photocell system with state-of-the-art light curtain technology, detecting objects across the entire height of the opening, not just a single point.

From limited photocell coverage to full-height light curtain protection.

Key Benefits

•     Extra protection: the kit detects obstacles before contact, giving an immediate safety upgrade.

•     It self-adapts to changing traffic and object sizes.

•     Non-contact detection means less wear compared to mechanical safety devices.

•     It supports compliance by helping you meet stricter industrial safety requirements.

•     It improves operational efficiency, with fewer collisions and less downtime.

•     Installation is fast because the kit works with your existing controllers, so commissioning is quick and investment stays low.
