ESPE

An electro-sensitive protective device (ESPE) is a device or a system comprising one or more devices used for the safety-related detection of people or human body parts.

ESPEs provide personal protection at machines and plants/systems where a risk of injury exists. The ESPE places the machine or plant/system in a safe state before a person is put in danger.

Examples: Safety light curtain, safety laser scanner.
