Laser scanner prevents AGV collisions

摘要

For collision avoidance, the compact, type 3 OS32C safety laser scanner for use with automatic guided vehicles remembers up to 70 zone set combinations to support complex AGV maneuvers. Each combination provides two warning zones of up to 33 feet that make a warning sound or reduce speed; a 10-foot zone triggers an emergency stop when breached. Measuring 4 inches tall and weighing 2.9 pounds, the scanner draws only 5 watts of power. A single unit provides 270-degree monitoring; two units can be installed for front/rear and 360-degree monitoring.
