Example: Calculating the Safety Distance for a Light Curtain Using the OSHA Formula
The OSHA formula is
Ds = K x Ts
The following value is a constant:
K
= 63 inches per second
We will use the following values for the variables in the formula:
Stopping time of press + response time of press control = 0.190 sec. (result of the 90° stop-time
test)
Response time of light curtains =0.018 sec. (response time of Shadow 9 with greater than
110 in. (2800 mm) combined length including cascaded heads (see Table 6-2, page 6-25.)
Additional time for brake wear = 0.035 sec. (see Example 2 in
Putting these values into the formula, we get:
Ds
= 63 x (0.190 + 0.018 + 0.035)
Ds
= 63 x 0.243
Ds
= 15.309 in.
The light curtain must be mounted 15.309 in. away from the pinch point.
When using the OSHA formula, be sure to do the calculations in this order:
(1) Add the factors involved in the stopping time
Ts
first.
(2) Multiply the result by 63. This is
Ds
.
If you do no follow this order, your safety distance calculation will be incorrect.
Adding to Safety Distance for Blanking Windows
When using fixed or floating blanking windows with your Shadow 9 light curtain, you must
add a factor to the calculated safety distance for each beam that is blanked. This applies
whether you use the ANSI or the OSHA formula. For a one-beam fixed blanking window,
you must add 5.38 in. (136.6 mm) to the calculated safety distance (ANSI formula). You
must add 5.76 in. (146.3 mm) to the calculated safety distance for a one-beam floating
blanking window (ANSI formula). See your Shadow 9 user manual for further details about
fixed and floating blanking.
If you are using another Shadow light curtain, refer the appropriate Shadow user manual for
the additional distance factor to add to the safety distance formula for each blanking window.
