HOKUYO SAFETY LASER SCANNER

Safety Laser Scanners are presence sensing devices, also known as active opto-electronic protective devices responsive to diffuse reflection (AOPDDR). They are used to safely monitor stationary or mobile applications and are commonly used in robotic work cells or on autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and automated guided vehicles and carts (AGV, AGC). Safety Laser Scanners are one of the most effective presence sensing technologies as they can cover a wider area than compared to other solutions. The safety monitoring area generally comprises a wide warning zone and a narrower protection zone.

OVERVIEW

Compact size 3.75” x 3.15” x 3.15”
270 degree detection angle
5 meter protection zone
20 meter warning zone
Data Output via Ethernet
Dual zone monitoring option

The UAM-05LP is a compact and light-weight safety scanner which can be mounted in confined spaces. It uses a 2D LiDAR system to monitor a 5 meter protection zone, with up to 20 meter warning area, and has a 270° field-of-view. It is equipped with an Ethernet interface, so distance data and intensity output values can be captured and sent to control systems.

Status is indicated on the front display by 6 LEDs and a pair of 7 segment displays, which will indicate operation status and fault codes. The front also has access ports for a MicroSD card and USB port for computer programming.

Special brackets are available for base or rear mounting, and a cover bracket prevents damage from materials falling on the scanner head.

The UAM-05LP conforms to standards: IEC61469-1/3 Type 3; IEC61508 SIL2; ISO13849-1 PLd Category 3; UL508; UL1998; UL61496-1 Type 3; CSA C22.2 No. 14.
