5.3 Stationary vertical operation for hazardous point
protection
Hazardous point protection is necessary if the operator must remain near the dangerous
s
tate of the machine. Hand protection is required for hazardous point protection.
The S300 must therefore be configured with a resolution of at least 40 mm.
Never use the S300 for safety applications in which finger protection is required!
Due to the finest possible resolution of 30 mm, the S300 is not suitable for finger
protection.
To protect the protective device against inadvertent adjustment or manipulation, you must
use the contour of the surroundings as a reference for the S300 (see section 4.9.3 “Using
the contour as a reference” on page 46).
5.3.1 Minimum distance
For hazardous point protection, a minimum distance must be observed between protective
field and hazardous point. This safety distance ensures that the hazardous point can only
be reached after the dangerous state of the machine has been completely stopped.
Prevent reaching around or reaching behind the protective field!
Always mount the safety laser scanner such that reaching around and behind is impossi-
ble. Provide suitable additional precautions as necessary.
The minimum distance S as defined in EN ISO 13855 and EN ISO 13857 depends on:
stopping/run-down time of the machine or system
(The stopping/run-down time is shown in the machine documentation or must be
determined by taking a measurement.)
response time of the S300
reach or approach speed
resolution of the S300
