...how you can calculate the safety distance for light curtains?

A calculation error can be expensive in machine safety.
Not theoretical, but very real.

Anyone working with safety light curtains knows the problem: reaction times, approach speed, beam distances.

And in the end the question: Is the safety distance really correct?

• Too small = Liability risk
• Too large = Unnecessary space requirements, extra costs, discussions

Exactly for this we have developed a Safety Distance S for your protective devices according to EN ISO 13855:20210.
