Abstract

This paper describes the maximum distance that a hand can reach between two photoelectric beams, set various distances apart, before the beams are interrupted. Seventy males and seventy females are studied. The object is to produce formulae from which the maximum reach distance can be calculated for any gap between 0 and 64 mm so that this reach can be taken into account when photoelectric safety systems are used for safeguarding machinery.
