RLS 100 laser scanner

With the RLS 100, Sick has introduced a safety laser scanner complying with IEC/EN61496, Type 3.

The device can monitor stationary and mobile work-places without any contact through a scanning angle of 300°.

The depth of the protective field is up to 6 m and has a warning field of up to 10 m depth.

On triggering of the protective function, integrated safety relays directly switch off a hazardous machine movement.

The RLS 100 safety laser scanner is a non-contact safety device for both stationary safeguarding of machines and mobile area monitoring, eg, on automated guided vehicles.

The device scans its surroundings in two dimensions. Resolution is 70 mm at a distance of 6 m - the maximum radius of the safety-relevant protective field.

The size and shape of the protective field and the warning field that is up to a further four metres in front of it, can be defined to meet specific application requirements.

When persons or objects are detected by the RLS 100 a corresponding switching signal is given out via the integrated relay contact.
