Safety Laser Scanner for personal protection and measurement tasks

Hazard area guarding on transfer carriages: Switchovers of status and speed-dependent zone pairs for rapidly adjusting material transport

Point of operation guarding:
Triggers a machine stop through hand or finger detection

Suitable when the operator must remain close to the danger zone for process-related reasons, or if structural reasons necessitate a small safety distance.
