[When this device is used as a safety equipment for press machines in Japan]
The emitter and receiver set installed to directly protect the total length of the press machine's
stroke length and slide adjustment range is called the ‘main beam channels’. Other emitters
and receivers installed for other purposes are called the ‘auxiliary beam channels’. When in-
stalling this device as the main beam channels, the beam channels with a protective height
larger than the total length of the press machine's stroke length and slide adjustment range
must be selected. If the distance between the center of the main beam channels and the bol-
ster front line is 400mm or more, the auxiliary beam channels must be installed at 200mm in-
tervals between the main beam channels and bolster to prevent operators from entering the
area.
Refer to ‘Policy on Press Machine Safety Equipment Control’ (Ministry of Health, Labor and
Welfare, Basic Publication No.446-2, issued on July 9, 1993) for details.
When using the auxiliary beam channels, set the auxiliary beam channels so that the
machine operator cannot stand between the machine and this device, and so that the
operator cannot go past this device's protective range and enter the machine's dan-
gerous areas. Failure to use an auxiliary beam channels could result in death or serious
injury.
