These curtains are extensively used in equipment protection, small-size packaging machines, pick-and-place machines, automated production equipment, robotic work cells, and in small assembly systems, among others.

Owing to the greater protection offered and their surging use in key industries such as food and beverages and manufacturing, Type 4 systems are expected to register robust growth.
