Calculation of the minimum distance with perpendicular approach and a resolution of ≤ 40 mm

The minimum distance SRT is calculated using the following formula:

SRT [mm] = (K[mm/ms] x T [ms]) + CRT [mm]

SRT– Minimum distance between the protective field and point of operation
K – Approach speed
T: Stopping time of the entire system
CRT - Constant additional distance depending on the detection capability of the protective device: CRT = 8 x (d[mm] – 14 mm)


Note: In addition, the table value for CRO (overlapping) must be determined if overlapping is possible. If CRO > CRT, the value of CRO is to be used instead of CRT to determine the minimum distance.

Initially, the value of 2.0 mm/ms is used for K. If the calculation results in SRT > 500 mm, the calculation may be repeated with K = 1.6 mm/ms. The result for SRT must be at least 500 mm in the second step (if the calculated value is lower, SRT is set to 500 mm).
Attention: The distance S to the point of operation must always be at least 100 mm, even if a lower value was calculated.


Calculation of the minimum distance with perpendicular approach and a resolution of > 40 mm

Note: This formula applies to multiple light beam safety devices, safety light curtains and safety laser scanners with corresponding resolution.

The minimum distance SRT is calculated using the following formula:

SRT [mm] = (K[mm/ms] x T [ms]) + 850 mm

SRT– Minimum distance between the protective field and point of operation
K – Approach speed: 1.6 mm/ms
T: Stopping time of the entire system

S: Minimum distance
a: Height of the bottom beam above the reference plane
b: Height of the top beam above the reference plane

 

Note: The table value for CRO (reach-over) must also be determined. As a rule, this is greater than 850 mm and must then be used in the formula instead of 850 mm!
