By providing reliable safeguarding and unrestricted access, functions such as material placement work, piece removal and maintenance is possible at all times. With its small dimensions, quick response time, and high resolution, the FGS can be installed closer to the hazardous zone, saving valuable industrial space and improving productivity. Optional LCU safety interfaces can take over control tasks that the machine control system cannot provide. Blanking allows for passage of material through defined sections of the field. The FGS provides the safest possible interface with machine controls using dual channel, control reliable, redundant safety outputs.
Light beams travel from the sender to the receiver to guard hazardous machinery.
If the light beams are broken, the receiver sends a signal for the machinery to stop its hazardous motion. SICK s PLS Proximity Laser Scanner is a revolutionary single-point safety sensor for area guarding in stationary and movile applications. The PLS can actually match its protective field to an irregularly shaped area. Nothing else in the safety market comes close.
