Figure 37: Stopping distance
NOTE
P
lease note that a vehicle’s braking distance does not increase linearly with increasing
speed, but rather in a squared relationship. This is particularly important if you switch
between protective fields of different sizes depending on the speed determined by
incremental encoders.
