Safety distance determined simply and safely
The browser-based software tool 'Safety Distance Calculator' from Pilz enables users to calculate safety distances for all standard safety light grids quickly and easily.
The free digital calculation tool uses the values entered to determine the required safety distance and suggests the appropriate light grid. Users receive a selection of variants from the 'PSENopt' and 'PSENopt II' product family of safety light grids. As the search for the right light grid is significantly shorter, users save time. The distance calculation via the Calculator therefore offers advantages for industrial sectors such as special machine construction, where the safety distance often has to be recalculated. Users can access the tool online via the Pilz website. The intuitive Safety Distance Calculator provides additional information on the individual steps of the calculation, for example when calculating the minimum distance.
The Safety Distance Calculator can be used to calculate applications for vertical protective fields (orthogonal approach) for finger, hand and body protection. Based on the required safety level, users receive a suitable product suggestion for their respective application, which is designed in accordance with either ISO 13849 or IEC 62061. Integrated info points with in-depth explanations support the search, and a graphical representation illustrates the user's own calculation so that it is easy to understand.
