SICK S3000 SAFETY LASER SCANNER
The S 3000 is an optical sensor designed for two-dimensional scanning of detection areas using infrared laser beams. The S 3000 operates according to the principle of time-of-flight measurement. It emits very short light pulses. An "electric timer" operates at the same time. When the light encounters an object, the light is reflected and received by the safety laser scanner. The S 3000 determines distance from the object during the time elapsedfrom emission to reception.

A Standard rotation mirror within the S 3000 deflects light impulses to a 190° scanning field. Using the mirror rotation angle definition, the S 3000 identifies the object distance and direction, the safety laser scanner estblishes the object's exact position.

EXTERNAL DEVICE MONITORING
The external device monitoring verifies if the contactors are actually disabled at the time of the safety device intervention.

RESTART INTERLOCK
The machine - or vehicle hazard stops - as soon as an object enters the protected field. OSSDs (Object Signal Switch Device) are enabled only after the operator activates the reset and/or restart actuating device.

MULTIPLE EVALUATION
With a multiple evaluation, objects need to be detected by several scans before the S 3000 disables the OSSD. This reduces the chance of turning off the equipment due to objects falling inside the scan level, like spatter or other particles.
