Mounting with hard guards

Figure 26: Example of mounting with hard guards

² Fit the hard guard such Œ that the areas not covered by the safety laser

scanner are completely protected against personnel standing in them.

Mounting in a recess

Figure 27: Form of the recess

²

Design the recess

Œ

to be sufficiently deep enough that it

completely covers the area not protected by the safety laser

scanner (Figure 26) and such that standing in an unscanned area

 is not possible.

4.2 Stationary Vertical Operation for Access
Protection

Access protection can be used when the access to the machine can be
defined by physical means. For access protection the SafeZone safety
laser scanner detects the entry of an entire body.

4.2.1 Safety distance

For access protection, a safety distance (S) must be maintained between
protective safety field and hazardous area. This safety distance ensures
that the hazardous point can only be reached after the dangerous state of
the machine has been completely stopped.

ATTENTION

Prevent unprotected areas.

Mount the SafeZone safety laser
scanner such that there are no
unprotected areas. Take one of the
precautions given in the following:

²

Install hard guards to prevent

standing behind.

²

Install the SafeZone safety laser

scanner in a recess.

IMPORTANT

Prevent crawling beneath the recess by
limiting the height of the recess such
that nobody can crawl beneath.

IMPORTANT

To ensure adequate access protection,
a response time of ~ 90 ms and a
resolution of 150 mm or finer is
required.

To protect the SafeZone multizone
scanner against inadvertent
adjustment or manipulation, use the
contour of the surrounding area as a
reference (see Section 3.4.3 “Using the
contour of the protective safety field as
a reference” on page 12).
