ANSI Minimum Safety Distance for AOPD Formula


Equation for calculate ansi minimum safety distance for aopd is,

Ds = Hs x (Ts + Tc + Tr + Tbm) + Dpf

Where,
Hs is Hand speed,
Ts is Stopping time,
Tc is Response time of the machine control system,
Tr is Response time of the protective device,
Tbm is Additional response time for the brake wear and tear,
Dpf is Penetration factor,
Ds is The minimum safety distance
