New Versions of the Safety Laser Scanner PSENscan – For Productive Area Monitoring

June 15, 2021

New versions of the safety laser scanner PSENscan enable even greater productivity for safe area monitoring: The 17-pin versions and ME version (master encoder) of PSENscan provide further digital inputs and outputs to implement up to 70 switchable configurations and monitor up to three separate safety zones simultaneously.

The labour and costs involved in wiring are significantly reduced thanks to fast, direct evaluation of the encoder inputs in the laser scanner. Also, thanks to the high resolution and the ability to withstand external temperature influences PSENscan is very flexible and versatile to use – whether for stationary or mobile danger zones, such as automated guided vehicles. New accessories such as the exchangeable head module and memory module support rapid commissioning and reduce downtimes to a minimum.
