Calucalation wizard for the height of a fixed guard for applications with low risk acc. to DIN EN 13857

Obstacles with a height under 1000 mm are not included since they do not satisfactorily limit the movement.

However, when it is forseeable that people will try to reach the point of operation or the danger zone, and, by doing so, create risk of serious injury, it is necessary to:

  • Use the values from the high risk calculator or...
  • Take additional safety-related measures..
