摘要： A potentially dangerous machine is secured to protect against injuries and has first and second tool parts that define an opening gap between them. At least the first tool part is movable relative to the second tool part in a movement direction during an operating cycle for deforming a workpiece between them by reducing a size of the opening gap in the movement direction. The protected zone precedes the first tool part and extends over at least a portion of the opening gap in the direction of relative movement. The protected zone is monitored with an optoelectronic sensor, and a danger signal is generated in response to a breach of the protected zone. When the size of the opening gap in the movement direction becomes smaller than the protected zone, the size of the protected zone is correspondingly reduced until during subsequent closing movements of the first tool part substantially the entire opening gap is within the protected zone.

In the method in accordance with the invention, relative positions between individual workpiece areas or measured values related to individual workpiece areas are determined from the signals delivered by the light-sensitive elements. The invention furthermore relates to an optoelectronic sensor by means of which the named method can be carried out.

摘要： A method and device for monitoring a monitored area with at least one camera and in which the monitored area has a contrast strip with at least one bright partial strip and/or at least one dark partial strip that extend in the longitudinal direction. A control unit recognizes the obscuration of a minimum area of the bright partial strip and/or the dark partial strip as the entry of an object into the monitored area. The control unit detects from an image of the camera the obscuration in columns which are oriented transverse to the contrast strip. A violation of the signature of the contrast strip is recognized when a first minimum number of bright pixels between the bright beginning and the bright end of the bright partial strip and/or a second minimum number of dark pixels between the dark beginning and the dark end of the dark partial strip in the respective columns, and the obscuration of the minimum area as the obscuration of a predetermined number of side-by-side columns have been detected.

摘要： In a method for the monitoring of a monitored zone next to and/or in an apparatus having at least one driven movable part, video images are used which were detected in time sequence by at least two video cameras whose fields of view overlap at least partly in an overlap region in the monitored zone. On the basis of the first video images detected by a first one of the video cameras, a first recognition and/or tracking of virtual objects is carried out and, on the basis of the second video images detected by a second one of the video cameras, a second recognition and/or tracking of virtual objects is carried out, the virtual objects corresponding to real objects at least in the overlap region. For the classification and/or determination of the position and/or the movement of at least one real object in the overlap region, virtual objects corresponding to the real object from the first and second virtual object recognition and/or tracking processes are determined and data determined in each case for both virtual objects on their virtual object recognition and/or tracking are evaluated. At least one monitoring signal is formed in dependence on the evaluation.

摘要： A distance-measuring optoelectronic sensor for the monitoring of a working zone is provided which is located within a detection zone of the sensor and at a first distance from the sensor, wherein the sensor has a lighting unit having a light source to illuminate the working zone at least partly as well as an object detection unit by means of which unauthorized objects in the working zone can be detected. In this respect, an illumination control is designed, in a switching-on phase, first to activate the lighting unit with a lower power so that a provisional working zone at a second distance from the sensor less than the first distance is illuminated with at most a preset maximum power; to check by means of the object detection unit whether an unauthorized object intrusion is taking place into the provisional working zone; and if no unauthorized object intrusion is recognized, to activate the lighting unit at a higher power so that the working zone is illuminated with at most the preset maximum power.
