System intent
Designed around the task—not simply the available component.
Safety laser scanners create monitored two-dimensional fields and can support applications where fixed barriers or straight light-curtain beams are impractical.
We develop the guarding arrangement in the context of machine movement, product flow, operator behaviour, cleaning and foreseeable intervention. The scope is then defined clearly for detailed engineering and installation.
Key engineering decisions
What the design needs to resolve.
These points are reviewed together because a change to access, stopping or production flow can alter the required safeguarding approach.
- 01
Field geometry
Map the warning and protective fields around access routes, obstructions and machine movement.
- 02
Stopping distance
Position fields using total system response and the direction of approach.
- 03
Environmental suitability
Review dust, steam, reflective surfaces, floor condition and possible obstruction.
- 04
Mode and zone logic
Define field switching, safe speed or zone behaviour without introducing foreseeable bypass routes.
Application review
Design considerations.
- Open floor access and approach direction
- Occlusion by pallets, products or machine frames
- Dust, condensation and reflective surfaces
- Field switching and encoder inputs
- Restart prevention and presence detection
- Mounting protection and diagnostic visibility
Typical project output
What can be included in the scope.
The precise deliverables are agreed before work proceeds and depend on whether the project covers mechanical guarding only or an integrated safety-system modification.
- Application review and field concept
- Scanner and mounting selection
- Safety-control integration
- Field configuration and access testing
- Recorded functional checks
- Configuration backup and handover
