Is the optical safety device alone sufficient for safety measures? Even if the safety device operates normally, it is the valve that controls the 'pneumatic energy'.
Scene content: The operator was unable to set the workpiece properly due to carelessness. There is an optical safety device, so the machine should stop even if the neighboring operator adjusts the workpiece by hand... The 'valve' controls the rise and fall of the pneumatic cylinder. If the valve fails, even if the safety device operates, the air cannot be switched, and the cylinder will not stop.

Is relying solely on optical safety devices sufficient for safety measures? Even if the safety device operates normally, it is the valve that controls the "pneumatic energy." A valve failure can lead to accidents. Scene description: The operator was unable to set the workpiece properly due to carelessness. With the optical safety device in place, the machine should stop even if the neighboring operator adjusts the workpiece by hand... However, it is the "valve" that controls the rise and fall of the pneumatic cylinder. If the valve fails, even if the safety device operates, the air cannot be switched, and the cylinder will not stop.
