Securing a Safe Manufacturing Environment
While Enhancing Productivity
SEPTEMBER 18, 2007 (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 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 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 can be mounted onto automated guided
vehicles (AGVs) and other mobile objects in which the monitoring
area must be frequently switched, during obstacle detection.
