Over-Travel Time T
Due to the fact that interrupting the safety field during hazardous motion does not result in immediate stopping of
the machine, over-travel time T must be taken into consideration. The distance between the safety field and the
point of danger must thus be large enough to assure that the point of danger cannot be reached until hazardous
motion has come to a standstill.
Total over-travel time T is the sum of maximum response time of the contactless safety device (t1) and maximum
over-travel time of the hazardous motion (t2). Machine over-travel time must be determined by means of repeated
measurement prior to initial start-up, and each time the machine is retooled (set up).
The response time of the ESPE depends upon the height of the safety field (see table).

Approach / Reach-In Speed Constant K
Amongst other factors, safety clearance depends upon the maximum reach-in or walking speed of the person
penetrating the safety field.
Safety Margin C
Safety margin C depends upon the respective resolution of the light curtain.
Perpendicular Approach to the Safety Field
The following applies for an ESPE with a resolution or beam clearance of greater than 40 mm:
K = 1600 mm/s
C = 850 mm (standard arm range)
S = (1600 mm/s × T) + 850 mm
