Pilz has introduced the browser-based Safety Distance Calculator, a software tool that enables users to calculate safety distances for all common safety light curtains.
Available at www.pilz.com/safety-distance-calculator, the free tool uses the values entered to determine the necessary safety distance and suggest the appropriate light curtain in each case. Using the calculator to work out the distance is beneficial in industries such as custom machine building, where the safety distance needs to be recalculated frequently.
Users can make the calculations for an application for 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.
