Accurate Stop Time Measurements for Verified Safety Distances

Machines using non separating safety devices such as light curtains, laser scanners, safety mats, or two hand controls must be evaluated to ensure hazardous motion stops before an operator can reach the danger zone. A Stop Time Analysis provides this critical verification by measuring actual machine stopping performance and using that data to calculate the minimum safe distance required for effective safeguarding in accordance with ISO 13855. tec.nicum’s TÜV certified Functional Safety Engineers perform precise on site measurements and deliver a detailed report documenting results, calculations, and safety margins. This evaluation supports proper safety device placement, reduces risk exposure, and provides audit ready evidence to support compliance, safety inspections, and confident machine safety decisions.
