6.1 Stationary danger zone guarding
Stationary danger zone guarding enables a very spacious protection of people on machines that are to re-
main as accessible as much as possible. The safety sensor is applied as a stop-activating and presence-
detecting protective device. The safety sensor's protective field is set up horizontally in front of the machine
or system's point of operation.
You can also use the stationary danger zone guarding if you do have to guard areas under the machine or
at the rear that are not visible.
If the danger zone changes during operation, the respective danger zone is guarded by means of a field
pair changeover while the working area is accessible.
