Echo-Free Acoustic Lab: Our job, create a safe area within the sound room using Omron safety light curtains.
An anechoic chamber (an-echoic meaning "non-reflective, non-echoing, echo-free") is a room designed to completely absorb reflections of either sound or electromagnetic waves. Semi-anechoic chambers have a solid floor that acts as a work surface for supporting heavy items, such as cars, washing machines, or industrial machinery, rather than the mesh floor grille over absorbent tiles found in full anechoic chambers. This floor is damped and floating on absorbent buffers to isolate it from outside vibration or electromagnetic signals. Listen to how Dyson's products have evolved to make less noise over the years - and it happened right in here: the Semi-anechoic chamber inside Dyson's Malmsbury facility where testing of the noise levels of their products happens.
The room is used for testing the sound from the various motors Dyson use for hoovers, fans, and vacuums.
Omron Safety Light Curtains
The Echo-Free Acoustic Lab is a state-of-the-art facility that specializes in acoustic research and testing. Our mission is to provide a controlled environment for scientists and engineers to conduct their experiments in a safe manner.
To achieve this goal, we have installed Omron safety light curtains around the perimeter of the lab. These light curtains create a safe and secure boundary between the inside of the lab and the outside world, preventing anyone from entering or exiting the room.
The Omron safety light curtains work by emitting a beam of light across the lab's entrance and detecting any objects or people that may break the beam. If the beam is broken, the curtains will immediately kill the power to the motors being tested, triggering an alarm alerting the lab technicians to the potential danger.
