Safety Laser Scanner > The new OptoShield OS3101 uses harmless laser light to sense an intrusion into a guarded area. It can be configured for multiple irregular-shaped hazardous areas, making it an excellent choice for safeguarding work cells, transfer lines, robot stations, and au- tomated guided vehicles. ItҒs the only laser scanner with patented Intrusion Indicators for instant visual feedback. Operators love it for its efficiency, as they can locate the intrusion and clear it immediately. Best of all, our configuration software is so intuitive, you can learn it today and remember it...

A Safety Zone is used to detect personnel or other objects entering a hazardous area. Upon sensing the object is within the Safety Zone, the OS3101 will send a stop signal to the guarded machine. > Օ A Warning Zone can be defined to detect objects that are closely approaching the hazardous area of the Safety Zone and can be used to initiate a warning signal for personnel before the actual Safety Zone is encroached. > Green line shows the live perimeter of the work space. Screen shot of Configuration Tool showing the guarded portion of an irregular-shaped area. Screen shots of Configuration...

Safety Laser Scanner > Our rich combination of features makes the OptoShield intuitively easy to configure and operate. Everything you need is at your fingertips. > We even do windows! Real world guarding... To maintain optimum performance and avoid downtime, our special diagnostic lights tell you when to give the window a quick wipe. Unlike some safety sensors, the OS3101 does not need any receivers or addi- tional reflectors. This keeps the guarded area freely accessible. The OS3101 is designed to withstand todayגs tough industrial environments, such as automotive manufacturing. > We...

Safety Laser Scanner > A safety laser scanner is one of the newest technologies to be used for machine area safeguarding. This small optical sensor uses pulsed laser light to scan its surroundings. The scanner then compares the scanned information to its predefined zones. If the scanner detects an intrusion into that area, it sends a stop signal to the guarded machine. > Safety laser scanners function by using a time of flightӔ measurement to determine distance. The scanner emits a light pulse, the light then hits the first object in its path and is reflected back to the scanner. Then the...

B OS3101 Protect i ve F i eldWarn > Area Scanning Area scanning devices, typically employing laser light, can be used to guard the area of a robotic work cell. When properly programmed, an area scanner will detect an intrusion into the defined area. Area scanning devices have the advantage of being able to be reprogrammed should the configuration of the robot welding cell change.Additionally, area scanning devices frequently include a programmable warning zoneӔ which can be set to warn an intruder from entering into the work cell without...
