STOP TIME MEASUREMENT AND SAFE DISTANCE CALCULATION
What do non-locking interlocks, light curtains, laser scanners, safety mats, RF devices and single/two-hand control devices have in common? They are all safety input devices, which upon interruption or activation initiate a stop command of the potentially hazardous energy sources. But do they ensure the hazard is stopped before the operator reaches it?
This is where the stop time measurement and safe distance calculation is necessary to ensure that each of these devices is installed far enough away from the hazard such that the operator can’t reach the hazard before it safely stops.
Key Benefits
- Applies to interlocks, light curtains, laser scanners, safety mats, RF devices, and single/two-hand controls
- Ensures the operator can't reach the hazard before it safely stops
- Confirms devices are installed far enough from the hazard
- Should be performed periodically
Machine Safety Training
Our functional safety team’s knowledge of machine safety standards can be available to your team with our safety training program. Safety training classes include:
MACHINE RISK ASSESSMENT
Learn the principles behind the standard and the hands-on aspect of completing one with our team
RISK REDUCTION MEASURES
Training on the various risk reduction measures from design-out measures and engineering controls to administrative measures, and how they can be implemented compliantly
SAFETY CONTROLS BEHIND ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Training on associating the level of risk of your hazards with a level of reliability of your safety control circuit, and how to design compliant circuits that meet ISO 13849 and ANSI B11.26
LOCKOUT TAGOUT AND ALTERNATIVE CONTROL MEASURES
Training on the various requirements for each for proper compliance
MACHINE SPECIFIC STANDARDS
Training in the specific safety standards for your machine type (e.g., milling machines, presses, robots, palletizers and de-palletizers, fillers, mixers, ASRS, etc.)
MACHINE SAFETY SPECIFICATION
Safe-T-Sense has worked with a variety of companies to assist them in developing and documenting their machine safety specification. This document is provided to OEMs or upon any major machine integration to ensure consistent machine safety. Included within are:
Deliverables
- Requirements for a documented risk assessment and its template
- Required machine-specific risk reduction measures
- Risk reduction measures and their compliance requirements
- Documented safety circuits ensuring consistent Category, PL, or SIL safety functions
