SICK nanoScan3

Influence by strong light sources
St
rong external light sources in the scan plane can influence the safety laser scanner
and thus reduce the availability of the machine.
Measures to increase availability:
►
Avoid external light sources in the scan plane.
►
Avoid direct sunlight in the scan plane.
►
Do not position halogen lights, infrared light sources or stroboscopes directly on
the scan plane.
Mutual interference from safety laser scanners
Due t
o the safeHDDM® scanning technology, mutual interference of multiple safety
laser scanners is unlikely. If many safety laser scanners are operated at the same
level in a stationary application, they may nevertheless interfere with one another. We
recommend selecting a suitable mounting method to avoid mutual interference.
Suitable mounting methods:
►
Offset mounting so that the scan planes are on different planes
►
Slightly inclined, tilted mounting, so that the scan planes intersect one another
4.3.2 Preventing unprotected areas
Overview
T
he safety laser scanner must be mounted so that people cannot enter unsecured
areas.
Undetected areas
T
here may be areas behind the safety laser scanner which cannot be detected by the
safety laser scanner. The undetected areas become larger if the safety laser scanner is
mounted using a mounting kit.
