1.2.3 Minimum safety distance
The protective device must be positioned at a specific safety distance (Fig. 3), which
guarantees that the operator cannot reach the danger zone until the hazardous machine
movement has come to a standstill by triggering the light curtain.
In accordance with the standard ISO 13855, this distance depends on 4 factors:
Response time of the light curtain (the time that elapses between the beams being
effectively interrupted and the OSSD contacts opening).
Machine’s stopping performance (time that elapses between the light curtain contacts
opening and the hazardous machine movement effectively stopping).
Light curtain’s resolution
Approach speed of the object to be detected.
