5.1 Point of operation guarding
Point of operation guarding for hand and finger protection is typically the most common application for this
safety sensor. In accordance with ENISO13855, resolutions from 14to40mm make sense here. This
yields the necessary safety distance, among others (see chapter 6.1.1 "Calculation of safety distanceS").
