The following formula should be used when calculating
the safety distance:
Ds = K x (Ts + Tc + Tr + Tbm) + D(pf)
Ds = Minimum safety distance between the
device and the nearest point of operation
hazard (in inches).
K = Hand speed constant. This value has
been determined by various studies and,
although these studies indicate speeds of
63 in/sec to over 100 in/sec, they are not
conclusive determinations. The employer
should determine this value by considering
all factors, including physical ability of the
operator.
Ts = Stop time of the machine tool measured by
a stop time measurement device.
Tc = Response time of the control system (usually
is taken care of by the measurement
device).
Tr = Response time of the presence-sending
device and it’s interface, if any, as stated
by the manufacturer or measured by the
employer.
Tbm = Additional time allowed for the brake
monitor to compensate for variations in
normal stopping time.
D(pf) = Depth Penetration Factor. Added distance
as indicated by Figure 4 on this page. The
minimum object sensitivity is stated by the
manufacturer. If a Floating Blank is used,
use the Dpf numbers found in the Floating
Blank section of this manual.

Penetration factor, Dpf, for presence-sensing
devices used in a vertical application with object
sensitivity less than 64 mm (2.5 inches)
Dpf, the distance added to the safety distance due
to the penetration factor compensates for varying
object sensitivities of electro-optical presence-sensing
devices.
When blanking features are used and when the
blanked area is not completely filled by the workpiece
or part, or by mechanical guarding, the minimum
object sensitivity can be calculated as:
Min Object Sensitivity (S) = Size of the blanked
area plus minimum object sensitivity without blanking.
Once this value is found, then determine Dpf.
If the entire blanked area is filled with mechanical
guarding or other fixed material or guards, use the
device’s object sensitivity to determine Dpf.
Dpf = 3.4 (S-7) mm
(Dpf = 3.4 (S-0.275) in)
ANSI Standard B11.19-2010
Formula for calculating safety distance
of light curtains from hazardous point
of operation.
The effective sensing field of the device shall be located
at a distance from the nearest recognized hazards such
that the operator or others cannot reach the hazard with
a hand or other body part before cessation of motion
during the hazardous portion of the machine cycle.
The point at which a device responds to an intrusion may
vary. The devices should be located or adjusted such
that the device always responds to the intrusion at or
prior to the safety distance. Care should be exercised
when installing the device to ensure that it does not
detect false signals from other devices in the area.
Usually the electro-optical presence-sensing device is
used in a manner that provides a protected zone in front
of the primary work area with auxiliary devices or guards
used to protect secondary access areas. In some cases,
however, mirrors may be used in conjunction with the
device to provide 2-, 3-, or 4-sided protection.
The machine stop time should be measured with the
machine running at its fastest speed with its heaviest
die or tooling and the stop time being measured at the
90° position in the downstroke.
