Application
Horizontal danger zone protection
Reliable detection of persons and objects in danger zones of
machines and plants
Flexible configuration of any protection and warning zones to a
great extent
Horizontal danger zone protection with several zones
to be protected
Safe detection of persons in various danger zones by switching
over protection zones
Better availability when specifically securing only live zones
Route monitoring for driverless transport systems
Detection of persons and objects that approach the vehicle
The laser scanner offers a greater protection range than
bumpers and therefore permits higher speeds.
Collision protection for shifting units
Protection of persons who are in the path of the vehicle
Objects in the path of the vehicle are detected early; damage to
the vehicle or load is therefore prevented.
Further applications
• All types of hazardous area protection,
• Room protection and access protection,
• Projecting object monitoring (protection of machines and
persons)
• Non-safety-related measurement or recognition tasks
(e. g. distance, position or contour recognition)
