4.3.5
Stationary vertical operation for access protection
Access protection can be used when access to the machine can be defined by physical
means. In access protection applications, the device detects the entry of an entire
body.
NOTE
•
To ensure adequate access protection, a response time of ≤ 90 ms and a resolu‐
tion of 150 mm or finer is required.
•
To protect the protective device against inadvertent adjustment or manipulation,
you must use the contour of the surroundings as a reference for the safety laser
scanner.

4.3.5.1
Minimum distance
Overview
For access protection, a minimum distance (S) must be maintained between the pro‐
tective field and the hazardous area. This minimum distance ensures that the haz‐
ardous point can only be reached if the dangerous state of the machine has been
stopped completely.
