6.5 Installation of Muting Sensors
This section explains the installation position of muting sensors.
Always place muting sensors so that only materials are detected and not the conveyance equipment (pallet or vehicle).
Additionally, they should be placed in the position where materials can pass unhindered, but people are reliably detected.
Minimum distance to the light beams on the ESPE
Always install muting sensors such that, on the detection of a material , a minimum distance to the light beams on the
protective equipment (ESPE) is maintained.
The minimum distance provides the processing time necessary until muting is activated.
The minimum distance can be obtained by the following formula.
S ≥ v × 61(ms)
S: Minimum distance (mm)
v: Velocity of the material (conveyor) (m/s)
(1): Conveyance equipment
(2): Conveying surface
(3): Material
(4): Muting sensor
(1): Hazardous area
: Detection of a material
: Light beams on the ESPE
