  • Publication number: 20230204157
    Abstract: In an entry detection system, detection of an object that is allowed to enter the region is appropriately disabled. An entry detection system for detecting an object entering a region includes: an entry detection sensor configured to detect whether or not a part of the object is present within an entry detection plane; a muting sensor section including a first unit and a second unit; and a control unit. The control unit disables the entry detection sensor in response to at least one of a first detection state and a second detection state being established, the first detection state is a state in which the first unit provided on a passing direction-first side of the entry detection plane detects the object, and the second detection state is a state in which the second unit provided on a passing direction-second side of the entry detection plane detects the object.
