See full text

Production and work machines are to be able to be more safely operated. Thereto, they can be equipped with a safety device, which comprises a light curtain, a first and a second reflection device, which are each formed for reflecting light of the light curtain, and a first identification element integrated in the first reflection device as well as a second identification element integrated in the second reflection device. Moreover, the safety device comprises a first sensor device and a second sensor device for reading out the identification elements. A control device provides a start signal for the machine only if the first sensor device reads out the first identification information and the second sensor device reads out the second identification information at the same time.
