Pilz PSENscan safety laser scanner

The PSENscan safety laser scanner safely monitors up to three separate zones simultaneously, and up to four safety laser scanners can be connected in series in accordance with the master-slave principle. Due to the free configuration of warning zones and protection zones, plus the ability to adapt to existing structural conditions, PSENscan can easily be integrated into the most varied of applications.

The safety laser scanner offers two-dimensional area monitoring with a large detection angle of 275°, so applications in which several adjoining sides of a machine or AGV are to be monitored can be implemented with fewer devices. PSENscan is flexible and can be used in a variety of situations because different zone configurations can be stored.

In addition to three separate zones, up to 70 switchable configurations can be set up. With a protected field range of 3–5.5 m for the safety zone and 20 m for the warning zone, large areas can be covered with one device.

The PSENscan Configurator software tool is used for configuration via an Ethernet port. The device uses a teach-in mode to record fixed obstacles in its environment, which can then be excluded from the monitoring zones. As the complete configuration can be stored on an exchangeable memory module, there is no need to repeat the configuration if the device is replaced.

PSENscan is designed to protection level IP65. The whole structure of the device has been optimised so that errors triggered by dust particles are detected and avoided.
