HORIZONTAL POSITION OF THE LIGHT CURTAIN / LIGHT GRID
When the object's direction of approach is parallel to
the floor of the protected area, the light curtain / light
grid must be installed so that the distance between
the outer limit of the dangerous area and the most
external optical beam is greater than or equal to the
minimum safety distance S calculated as follows:
S = 1600(t
where H is the height of the protected surface from
the base of the machine;
In this case, H must always be less than 1 meter.
