HOW TO CHOOSE THE DEVICE
There are at least three different main characteristics that should be considered when
choosing a safety light curtain, after having evaluated the risk assessment.
1.3.1 Resolution
The resolution of the device is the minimum dimension that an opaque object must have in
order to obscure at least one of the beams that constitute the sensitive area.
The resolution strictly depends on the part of the body to be protected.
R =14mm
finger protection
Type 4
R = 30 mm
hand protection
Type 4
As shown in Fig. 1, the resolution only depends on the geometrical characteristics of the
lenses, diameter and distance between centres, and is independent of any environmental
and operating conditions of the safety light curtain.

Fig. 1 – Resolution
The resolution value is obtained applying the following formula:
R = I + d
where:
I
= Distance between two adjacent optics
d = Lens
