Securing a Safe Manufacturing Environment
with Safety Laser Scanner
MAY 9, 2009 (ASIA PACIFIC) -
Omron works toward securing a safe manufacturing environment for
all workers while enhancing productivity. With the latest
addition of Safety Laser Scanner conforming to Category 3 Safety
Circuit without having to use the Controller, the presence of
operators can now be detected in today’s increasingly complex
manufacturing sites.
Omron OS3101 Safety Laser Scanner is designed for use in dynamic and
irregular hazardous environments. It allows setting of a
protective area up to 4 m with an additional of 15 m warning
zone. Infringing the protective zone can be viewed at a glance
from an array of 16 LED intrusion indicators and a LED display.
The Safety Laser Scanner is so user-friendly that parameters for
highly complex detection areas can be easily set by a personal
computer. Any highly complicated protective and warning zones
can be programmed to match the shape of the work area, allowing
the presence of machines and other equipment. In locations
subject to special conditions, such as spattering in welding
stations, response time can be set to reduce the chances of
spattering material being mistakenly detected and stopping the
machine, thus helping to improve productivity.
In addition to protecting operators at conveyor lines and at
robot stations, the OS3101 Safety Laser Scanner can be mounted onto automated guided
vehicles (AGVs) and other mobile objects in which the monitoring
area must be frequently switched, during obstacle detection.
New OS3101-A1 Scanner Model
Designed for Both Stationary and Mobile Applications
The new variant Safety Laser
Scanner, OS3101-A1 is designed for use in mobile applications on
automatic guided vehicle (AGV), track-guided fork lift or
transfer carts as well as stationary use, such as robotic work
cell, in front of a press or around other hazardous machinery.
It is built with eight sets of safety zone and warning zone
combinations supporting complicated changes of working
environments and the configuration can be easily set up with
intuitive software. Working conditions of the safety scanner can
be easily identified through the 16 intrusion indicators and an
LED display and the system can be easily installed directly with
safety relay without the need of additional controller.
