Notes on planning the test
•
W
hich contour should be detected at which position? What is the desired result?
•
What is the desired result if the contour is not at the position?
•
What is the desired result if only one part of the contour is at the position?
•
Is it possible for there to be another object at the intended position instead of
the expected object, so that the safety laser scanner still recognizes the contour?
What is the desired result?
If the thorough check reveals a fault, the machine should be shut down immediately. In
this case, the mounting and electrical installation of the safety laser scanner must be
checked by appropriately qualified safety personnel.
Thorough visual check of the machine and the protective device
SIC
K recommends the following procedure:
b
Check whether the machine or the protective device has been modified or manipu‐
lated so that the effectiveness of the protective device may be impaired.
b
Check the following points in particular.
°
Has the machine been retrofitted?
°
Have machine parts been removed?
°
Have modifications been made to the machine’s surroundings?
°
Are there any defective cables or open cable ends?
°
Have the protective device or its parts been dismantled?
°
Is the protective device damaged?
°
Is the protective device severely contaminated?
°
Is the optics cover contaminated, scratched or destructed?
°
Has the protective device’s alignment been changed?
°
Are there any objects (e.g. cables, reflective surfaces) in the protective field?
If one of the points applies, the machine should be shut down immediately. In this
case, the machine and the protective device must be checked by appropriately qualified
safety personnel.
