The safety-sensing function is performed by a single image sensing device, which views a single two-dimensional image against a passive pattern as the background. The detection principle is based on an object of a certain resolution blocking the image-sensing device's view of the pattern.
Targeted at light and medium industrial machine guarding applications, the GuardMaster SC300 can be used for frame openings ranging from 400 x 400mm up to 1,500 x 1,500mm.
The SC300 is incredibly versatile and is easy to install and set up, providing a cost effective, 20ms response, hand-detection solution that can replace 24 - 30mm safety light curtains. It's small size and detection offset allows it to be mounted on the inside or outside corner of a frame opening, maintaining the opening while helping to protect the SC300.
Set up is a simple four-stage process:
- The unit is mounted in the corner of the opening to be monitored
- Tape is applied to the opposing inside surfaces of the opening
- The teach button (or an external key switch) activates the teach function, which the unit uses to detect the entire length of the tape
- The functionality is verified using a test rod that comes as part of the tape pack.
The unit is used in conjunction with special reflective tape, which defines the boundaries of the sensing field. The reflective tape is offered in two resolutions 24mm for opening of 400mm to 1m and 30mm for openings for 600mm to 1.5m.
Key Features
- Provides compact die-cast aluminium housing that can be mounted on the inside of or on the side of a frame
- Provides angular field of view of 100°
- Offers automatic alignment
- Lets you double the maximum opening dimension by installing two SC300 safety cameras back to back with synchronisation inputs connected
- Does not require software to program the monitored opening area
