>> The S 3000 laser scanner, successor to the technological trendsetter PLS, is used for horizontal and vertical safeguarding of hazardous points-of-operation, dangerous areas, and access in compliance with Type 3 of IEC/EN 61496-3. Among the other new features are its modular concept: the three system modules (sensor head, I/O module, and system plug) can be combined with one another flexibly and as required, and thus permit the optimum preparation of the sensor for its tasks.

Safety “requests programme”

With the selection of the Standard, Advanced, Professional or Remote I/O Module, the S 3000 can be ideally configured for the task in hand. As the basic version, the S 3000 Standard offers one protective and one warning field. The Advanced version has four protective and four warning fields, as well as four digital inputs for protective field switching. Shaft encoder connections for speed-dependent protective field switching have been integrated in a safety laser scanner for the first time. This, and the eight protective and eight warning fields, make the S 3000 Professional the right safety system for mobile applications. If both directions of motion need monitoring the Remote I/O Module can be attached to a second S 3000 sensor head.

Common features

All versions share features such as the range (optionally either 5.5 m or 7 m), switchable response times of 60 ms or 120 ms, the scanning angle of 190°, simultaneous monitoring of second protective fields, switching outputs with external relay monitoring, and the possibility of Bus connection.

Always up-to-date

The modular concept has one more advantage: the high level of investment security. Thus new or further developed modules, simply substituted at the sensor head, provide upgrading to the current state-of-the-art at any time.

The S 3000 – the time is ripe for the future!
