The core risk of blind spots is "protection failure", which includes:
Personnel injury: When a person enters a blind spot by mistake, the safety touch edge cannot trigger the protection mechanism, and the continued operation of the equipment may cause accidents such as extrusion, shearing, and collision.
Equipment damage: If foreign objects (such as tools and materials) enter the blind spot and the touch edge is not detected, it may cause the equipment to get stuck, parts to wear, or even fail.
Compliance issues: According to safety standards (such as ISO 13849 and EN 61496), equipment safety protection must cover all potential risk areas. Blind spots may cause the equipment to fail to meet safety regulations and face compliance penalties.
