Abstract
The disclosure includes a protective device for a machine, a method of operating a protective device, and a protective system including the protective device and the machine. The protective device may include a sensor array disposed on the machine. The sensor array may have a plurality of time-of-flight (TOF) sensors arranged to form a sensible field for TOF measurements, and a controller configured to define a safety area within the sensible field, detect an object within the sensible field, and generate a safety output that controls an operation of the machine in response to the object being detected within the safety area. The machine may include woodworking machines or other machines having debris or particles in the surrounding environment during operation.
