Machine Stop-Time & Safety Distance Verification Explained

Machine stop-time and safety distance verification ensure that safety devices—like light curtains, area scanners, and interlocked guards—are positioned far enough away to protect operators based on how long a machine actually takes to stop. In this video, we explain what stop-time testing is, how safety distances are verified, and why this step is critical in a complete machine safety assessment program. You’ll learn: What machine stop-time testing measures and why it changes over time How stopping performance affects required safety distances Why “manufacturer specs” alone are not enough How stop-time and distance verification align with OSHA, ANSI B11, and ISO 13855 guidance Common mistakes that lead to false compliance and increased risk Stop-time and safety distance verification help manufacturers uncover hidden exposure risks—especially on older equipment, modified machines, or systems with added guarding or safety controls. Without verified stopping performance, safety devices may provide a false sense of protection. This video is ideal for: Safety Managers preparing for OSHA inspections or internal audits Engineers specifying or relocating light curtains and safety scanners Maintenance teams working on brakes, drives, and control systems Operations leaders standardizing safety across machines or facilities Learn more about Machine Safety Assessment Services: https://powersafeautomation.com/machi...
