6.5 Danger zone safeguarding on side-tracking skates
Side-tracking skate guarding
Side-tracking skate guarding protects personnel who are located in the transportation path of a transverse
side-tracking skate (TSS). One safety sensor is mounted in each direction of travel. The safety sensor that
is mounted opposite the current direction of travel is deactivated. Evaluation of the warning field allows the
transverse side-tracking skate to be braked gently. To ensure optimum material transport, the control
changes over the protective/warning field pair depending on the state and speed.
Mobile side guarding
Mobile side guarding protects people and objects that are located on the vehicles path. This application is
used when very low arranged roller conveyors do not permit an unobstructed passage of horizontal, lateral
protrude protective fields. The safety sensors are positioned laterally and the protective fields are arranged
vertically, at a slight tilt. The position of the front edges of the side protective fields is oriented here on the
position of the front edge of the horizontal protective field.
