SICK has launched its next
generation V300 and V200 safety
camera sensors for machine guarding
applications. The two new cameras
enable engineers to comply with
safety levels up to SIL 2 and PL d, in
line with European safety directives
IEC 61508, PL and EN ISO 13849.
The V300 WS Extended and the V200 WS Extended have been designed to deliver longer range, greater ease-ofuse, and quick, easy installation.
No bigger than a standard SLR camera, the solution limits the need for multiple lengths of light curtain, enabling a number of logistical advantages for end users, suppliers and machine builders.
