A laser cutting machine is typically equipped with a surrounding safety laser scanner to enhance safety measures. An example of such a scanner is the XD-TOF-05D, which boasts high resolution, quick response time and a wide operating range. This scanner is suitable for use in a variety of environments and can detect obstacles, people or vehicles that enter the predefined safety zone.
Other hazardous equipment that can benefit from the use of a safety laser scanner includes but is not limited to: robots, AGVs, gantry cranes and more. Installing a safety laser scanner can help prevent collisions, protect workers from harm, reduce downtime and enhance overall productivity.
Technical parameters of the XD-TOF-05D include 270 degrees angle of view, 64 scanning layers, a maximum range of 6.25 metres and an accuracy of +/- 30mm. It also features Ethernet and RS232 communication interfaces and supports TCP/IP, Modbus, PROFIBUS and other protocols.
In summary, using a safety laser scanner with a laser cutting machine or other hazardous equipment can greatly improve safety and efficiency in the workplace.
