WARNING
Ineffectiveness of the protective device
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of
non-observance.
•
Use a resolution of 200mm or finer. Otherwise, protection will not be ensured
during access protection.
•
Use the contour of the surroundings as a reference to protect the protective device
from inadvertent adjustment or tampering.
Protective field
The protective field must be designed so that it detects a person at a minimum
distance from the hazardous point. This distance is required to prevent a person or
part of their body from reaching the hazardous area before the end of the machine’s
dangerous state.
In access protection, the minimum distance typically defines the position at which the
device is mounted.
Calculating minimum distance
The minimum distance depends, among other things, on the following:
•
Machine stopping time (time interval between triggering the sensor function and
the end of the machine’s dangerous state)
•
Response time of the protective device
•
Reach or approach speed of the person
•
Resolution (detection capability) of the safety sensor
•
Type of approach:orthogonal
•
Parameters specified based on the application
•
Supplement to prevent reaching through

Mobile hazardous area protection
The device is mounted with a horizontal scan plane in a mobile application, for example
on an automated guided vehicle or service robot. In mobile hazardous area protection,
the device protects the hazardous area created by the vehicle’s movement. The device
detects a person’s legs. The protective field is parallel to the direction of approach.
