Width of the collision protection field
Overview
The collision protection field must be designed in such a way that 2 industrial trucks
moving towards each other head-on are braked in good time. The collision protection
field must be wide enough to reliably detect the reference target on any oncoming
industrial truck. The minimum width of the collision protection field must be selected so
that the collision protection field covers the reference target of the oncoming industrial
truck, even if both industrial trucks make yawing movements.
A distance is required between the collision protection field and the front of the rack
because of the angular error of the industrial truck and because of the measurement
accuracy of the safety laser scanner. This distance should be as small as possible. A
distance equal to the TZ value plus supplement for the guide tolerance of the industrial
truck is recommended for high availability and sufficient protection. (TZ = tolerance
zone of the safety laser scanner,
.)

Requirements for use
The output signals of the protective device must be analyzed by downstream controllers
in such a way that the dangerous state of the machine is ended safely. Depending on
the safety concept, the signal is analyzed by safety relays or a safety controller, for
example.
The protective device delivers safety-related shut-off signals via the network. Reliable
evaluation and switch-off of the machine must be realized in a control suitable for
EFI-pro.
