Safety scanner adapts to dynamic, irregular environments

September 13, 2005

Scientific Technologies Inc.'s OptoShield OS3100 laser light safety scanner adapts to both dynamic and irregular hazardous environments.

The scanner features two detection zone sets that can be selected externally to monitor changing hazardous areas, without the need for additional external controls. Its diagnostic communications include a two-digit numeric display, four standard LED status indicators, and patented intrusion indicators that identify where the safety zone is encroached without the need for diagnostic searches, and an external computer display.

The scanner is suitable for safeguarding hazardous workcells, transfer lines, robot stations, internal press guarding, irregular-shaped or changing areas, and automated guided vehicles.
