Product description
In the S300 there is also a mirror rotating at constant speed that deflects the light pulses
such that they cover an arc of 270°. In this way an object can be detected in the protec-
tive field within 270°. The first beam of a scan starts at –45° relative to the back of the
safety laser scanner.
The S300 sends a pulse of light with an angular resolution of 0.5° . As a result resolu-
tions between 30 mm and 150 mm can be achieved .
Due to its active scanning principle, the S300 does not require receivers or reflectors. This
has the following advantages:
Your installation effort is lower.
You can easily adapt the monitored area to the hazardous area on a machine.
In comparison with contact sensors, electro-sensitive scanning is nearly wear-free.
