Operator Presence Detection in Work Areas with Complex Shapes

  • A Type 3 Safety Laser Scanner in compliance with IEC 61496-1/-3.

  • Two patterns of protective and warning area combinations can be set to enable responding to complex changes in the work area.

  • You can set a protective area with a 4-m radius and a warning area with a 15-m radius.

  • The LED indicators and 16 intrusion indicators shown the status at a glance.

  • Complex area settings can be made using  the setting software.

  • Achieve category-3 safety circuits without a special controller.

  • Response time from 80 ms to a maximum of 680 ms.

Features

 

The OS3101 Safety Laser Scanner is designed for use in hazardous zones that change irregularly. Parameters for even highly complex areas can be easily set using personal computer software.

 

In addition to protecting operators on conveyor lines and at robot stations, the OS3101 can be mounted onto automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and other mobile objects for which the monitoring area must be frequently switched, during obstacle detection.

 

Operating Principle

 

 

Laser Beams Scan in 2-Dimensional Space to Constantly Monitor the Presence of Operators in the Monitoring Area

 

The guiding principle in providing safety for operators is to prevent machines from operating whenever a person is inside the working area of a robot or other machine. The OS3101 Safety Laser Scanner uses 2-dimensional laser-beam scanning to detect whether an operator is present in the preset area by monitoring reflected beams, in order to maintain operator safety.

 

 

Depending on Work Details, Two Patterns Can Be Set for Two Different Area Combinations

 

Two different protective area and warning area combinations can be preset, allowing the safety laser scanner to respond to even complex changes in the work environment. The patterns can be switched using only the OS3101, without having to use the special Controller, to quickly meet the needs of various work steps.

 

 The protective area is switched depending on whether or not a finished-product pallet is present.

 

 

Allows the Setting of a Protective Area with a Radius of 4 Meters and a Warning Area with a Radius of 15 Meters

 

It is possible to set both a protective area with a maximum radius of 4 meters, which prevents the machine from operating when entry is detected, and a warning area with a maximum radius of 15 meters, which monitors and warns of people approaching the machine. Because the OS3101 Safety Laser Scanner warns with indicators, sirens, and other means that something has entered the warning area, it makes it possible to prevent unintended stops. Two patterns of protective and warning area combinations can also be set to meet various needs.

 

Protective area of 4 m max.; Sensing angle of 180°; Warning area of 15 m max.

 

 

An Array of 16 Intrusion Indicators and an LED Display Show the OS3101 Condition at a Glance

 

When the OS3101 Safety Laser Scanner detects an object entering the protective area, the intrusion indicators immediately light in red. The positions of the lit indicators from among the total of 16 indicators show the direction of the intrusion. The LED status indicators and 2-digit numerical, self-diagnostic display show the condition of the OS3101 with a single glance.

 

Indicators and LED Display

 

 

 

Even Complicated Areas Can Be Easily Set with Software

 

Highly flexible protective and warning areas can be set to match the shape of the work area, allowing for the presence of machines and other equipment. Area parameters are selected from semicircular, rectangular, or polygonal. A teaching function also allows the OS3101's scanning data to be edited and registered as area setting data. These functions bring considerable flexibility and ease to area setting.

 

Screen for editing and setting area data using the teaching function. Area Setting Screens: 1. A protective area set with a polygonal shape, and a warning area set with a rectangular shape. 2. A protective area set with a semicircular shape, and a warning area set with a rectangular shape.

 

 

Category 3 Safety Circuits Can Be Set without Using the Controller

 

Two high-capacity PNP transistor control outputs allow direct connection of output equipment such as safety relays and contactors with rated current up to 625 mA at 24 VDC. The OS3101 Safety Laser Scanner also features an external device monitor (EDM) that makes it possible to configure safety circuits to the Category 3 level without having to use the Controller.

 

 

Response Time from 80 ms to a Maximum of 680 ms

 

The response time can be set for use in locations subject to special conditions, such as spattering in welding stations. This reduces the chances of the spattering material being mistakenly detected and stopping the machine, thus helping to improve productivity.
