Light Beams

Light beams or “Laser scanners” are compact systems that scan their surroundings using a beam. How do they work? They emit light beams that if upon successful contact with an object will send a signal back to the receiver with the purpose of alerting or tracking moving objects. An internal rotating mirror moves the light pulses in a circle to produce a 2-dimensional scan. Features and benefits: • Monitoring hazardous areas and access protection • Switchable monitored areas • Measured data of the surroundings they are used in, helpful for safety planning • Easy to service • Some feature integration into BUS systems • Plug and play capabilities making it easy to set up and move • Can cover distances up to 50 metres and beyond (depending on model) • LED indications to let you know a light beam has activated • Can be compact and discreet to set up Where might I use one? • Warehouse scenarios where moving vehicles like forklifts are present to further optimise employee safety • Industrial settings including factories and automated production lines • Anywhere hazardous and you want to control the flow of traffic with strict safety guidelines
