• Minimum safety distance
The minimum safety distance refers to the minimum distance that the light curtain must be separated from
the hazardous zone or hazard in order to stop the machine before people or objects can reach the
hazardous zone or hazard. The centerline at the SL-C’s beam axis surface is used as the origin when
calculating the minimum safety distance.
