Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A distance measuring optoelectronic safety sensor ( 10 ) for monitoring a monitored zone ( 18 ) having at least one protected zone ( 48 ) is provided, wherein the safety sensor ( 10 ) has a light receiver ( 24 ) for generating a received signal on light reception from the monitored zone ( 18 ) as well as an evaluation unit ( 30, 32 ) which is designed to detect objects ( 52 ) in the monitored zone ( 18 ) with the aid of the received signal and to determine their position, including their distance from the safety sensor ( 10 ), and to output a securing signal on recognition of an unpermitted object intrusion ( 52 ) into a protected zone ( 48 ). In this respect, the evaluation unit ( 30, 36 ) is designed to determine and output the distance of detected objects ( 52 ) from the protected zone ( 48 ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A distance measuring optoelectronic safety sensor ( 10 ) for monitoring a monitored zone ( 18 ) having at least one protected zone ( 48 ), comprising: a light receiver ( 24 ) for generating a received signal on light reception from the monitored zone ( 18 ) and an evaluation unit ( 30 , 32 ) configured to detect objects ( 52 ) in the monitored zone ( 18 ) with the aid of the received signal, configured to determine position information of the detect…
