Compact, reasonably priced, unrivalled

The new S300 is by far the most flexible solution for monitoring smaller hazardous areas with a maximum protective field radius of 2 m. The safety laser scanner is currently the smallest device of its type worldwide. Compact, reliable and equipped with a full overview of 270°, numerous applications can be solved particularly economically with the S300.

>> The S300 is suitable for a variety of applications,depending on the variant – Standard, Advanced or Professional, with one, two or four monitoring areas: for replacing safety mats (that are subject to friction), for space-saving point-of-operation protecting, for monitoring insertion stations on machines, or as personnel protection equipment for mobile transport systems or service robots. With Type 3 approval in compliance with IEC 61496-3 and SIL2 according to IEC 61508, the device meets the most up-to-date standards and can also – like its big brother, the S3000 – be operated vertically. Users can select the desired scope of functions via the variants on offer and thus obtain a made-to-measure and economical solution.

Costs cut but not corners

A new scanner technology was used during development so that right from the start the S300 could be designed to cut space requirements, weight and power consumption. This is advantageous for use on small manoeuvrable transport vehicles and for maintaining gaps on telpher lines (suspension hanger conveyors). But no corners have been cut in the S300. Its integrated functions ensure even greater economic efficiency for plant. This applies for the plug & play configuration memory in the connection plug, as well as for the 7-segment display for rapid commissioning, diagnosis and maintenance. The Enhanced Function Interface (EFI) data connection allows access to one of the many safety bus modules available. The S300 can be parameterised with CDS software, uniform for all SICK safety systems, which offers users a familiar look and feel.

270° viewing angle provides all-round protection

The S300 ’s unusual 270° angle of view is of particular interest for the ever-growing market segment of compact transport vehicles and service robots. Thus when the scanner is corner-mounted it can not only simultaneously monitor the sides, but also offer all-round protection for a vehicle – without any use of bumpers and control wires when mounted diagonally. The switchability of protective and warning fields permits dynamic adaptation to the particular velocities and spatial conditions.

The S300 is the ideal solution wherever great importance is placed on safety and economic efficiency in small areas.
