Free Safety Distance Calculator for Light Curtains
Oct. 27, 2023
Pilz Automation Safety has introduced an online calculation tool called the Safety Distance Calculator that lets users easily calculate safety distances for all common safety light curtains.
The Safety Distance Calculator is a free, browser-based tool that lets users calculate safety distances for all common safety light curtains, simply and quickly.
The digital calculation tool uses the values entered to determine the necessary safety distance and suggest the appropriate light curtain in each case. Users can choose from the product range of safety light curtains such as the PSENopt or PSENopt II from Pilz.
Users can visit the tool online at the Pilz website. The Safety Distance Calculator provides additional information on the individual calculation steps, such as calculating the minimum distance for example.
Users can calculate vertical protected fields (perpendicular approach) for finger, hand, and body protection. Based on the required safety level, users receive an appropriate product suggestion for their respective application, which is designed in accordance with either ISO 13849 or IEC 62061.
Integrated information points with in-depth explanations provide support and a graphical representation illustrates each calculation so that it's easy to understand.
