9. Safety Distance The safety distance is the distance that must be set between the F3SG-R and a machine's hazardous part to stop the hazardous part before a person or object reaches it. The safety distance varies according to the standards of each country and the individual specifications of each machine.
Page 14
Possible Circumventing by Reaching Over the Detection Zone If access to the hazardous zone by reaching over the detection zone of vertically mounted F3SG-R cannot be excluded, the height and the safety distance, S, of the F3SG-R shall be determined. S shall be determined by comparison of the calculated values in Detection Zone Orthogonal to Direction of Approach .

When Tm = 0.05 s, Ts = 0.008 s, a = 1,400 mm, b = 1,500 m: From the table above, Cro = 850 mm. Since b is between 1,400 mm and 1,600 mm, b = 1,400 mm which has the greater Cro value, shall be used.
9-2. Safety Distance Formulas according to ANSI B11.19 If a person approaches the detection zone of the F3SG-R orthogonally, calculate the safety distance as shown below. S = K x (Ts + Tc + Tr + Tbm) + Dpf • S: Safety distance •...
