SafeZone Safety Laser Scanner now Available with Single Zone or 4 Zone Detection

Allen-Bradley Guardmaster SafeZone safety laser scanners are a Type 3 opto-electronic device, which uses the diffuse reflection of emitted infrared laser light to determine the intrusion of a person or object within a defined area. A rotating deflection mirror periodically emits Class 1 (eye safe) infrared laser pulses over a 190° angular area to create a two dimensional detection field.


The reflected light is processed by the SafeZone, which sends a stop signal by switching the state of its OSSDs, if it is determined that an object is within the preconfigured sensing field(s).

The latest upgrade to the existing SafeZone mulitzone product allows four zone sets (warning and safety) to be configured within the maximum scanning range of the device. The SCD Windows-based software, supplied with each scanner, makes programming the SafeZone multizone simple. A configuration wizard is available to guide the programmer through simple or complex system configurations.

Features
• 190° scanning angle
• 5 metre safety field
• Four Pairs of configurable field sets
• Seven-segment diagnostic display
• Configurable resolutions 30, 40, 50, 70 and 150 mm
• Integrated EDM

SafeZone Single Zone Safety Laser Scanner

The Allen-Bradley Guardmaster SafeZone singlezone safety laser scanner is a Type 3 opto-electronic device, which uses the diffuse reflection of emitted infrared laser light to determine the intrusion of a person or object within a defined area. A rotating deflection mirror periodically emits Class 1 (eye safe) infrared laser pulses over a 190° angular area to create a two dimensional detection field.

The reflected light is processed by the SafeZone singlezone, which sends a stop signal by switching the state of its OSSDs, if it is determined that an object is within the preconfigured sensing field(s).
Additional to the upgraded SafeZone MultiZone is the new SafeZone SingleZone. The Single Zone scanner allows a single zone set (warning and safety) configured within the maximum scanning range of the device. The SCD Windows-based software, supplied with each scanner, makes programming the SafeZone singlezone simple and carefree. A configuration wizard is available to guide the programmer through simple or complex system configurations.

Features
• 190° scanning angle
• Single configurable field set
• 4 meter safety zone
• Seven-segment diagnostic display
• Configurable resolutions 30, 40, 50, 70 and 150 mm
