Hassle-free guarding January 1st 2008 The V300 is the latest safety
camera from SICK for machine
guarding applications. Designed as
a single box solution, the V300 is a
practical camera solution for point
of operation guarding, reducing the
number of parts and installation
time required by traditional safety
light curtains. Suitable for
rectangular openings and access
points, the installation process is
said to be easy. The V300 is
mounted in the most convenient
corner of the opening, the rugged
reflector strip is applied along the
two opposite adjacent lengths and
then the teach button pressed.
The reflector strip forms a
background target for the V300
and the device has a detection
capability equivalent to a 20mm
resolution light curtain. Fully
equipped with Reset and External
Device Monitoring (EDM) the V300
will interface with standard light
curtain relays, SICK muting
modules and controllers without
any changes. The V200, for lower
risk applications is due to be
launched in the next few months. More articles from SICK (UK) Ltd: |
