Product description
3.2.8 Detection of geometrically even objects
The detection of geometrically even objects (objects that throw a shadow with a straight
edge at the front and back) makes possible access protection while objects, e.g. rolls of
paper or cardboard boxes have access to a system or machine. If other objects, in par-
ticular people, enter the protective field then the C4000 shuts down its output signal
switching devices.
The protective field is blanked for defined individual objects up to the maximum height
expected for the objects. Objects allowed must have a contiguous profile without under-
cutting.
