SICK has announced the release of the world’s first certified safe laser scanner system designed for outdoor use.
According to the company, the OS2000 combines the hardware and software of the LMS Outdoor Laser Measurement System with the safety level of the UE4470 safe programmable logic controller.
The controller is designed to handle the machine-side connection, evaluation of the output signals of up to three LMS units, control of the LMS units, evaluation of their output signals, and control of the cyclical testing of the sensors on the basis of fixed test targets.
According to the company, the OS2000 can be used wherever a hazardous area requires monitoring outdoors.
The protective fields can be parameterised and evaluated as desired within the safety oriented range of 20 metres.
