COMPACT SICK LASER PROTECTION IDEAL FOR BIG TASKS
11/10/2011 Sick (UK) Ltd
SICK (UK) is launching the miniature TiM300 series laser scanner for a wide range of industrial automation, collision-protection and security duties where high performance detection must be combined with maximum reliability.Although the rugged, metal-housed sensor is only tennis-ball sized, the SICK TiM300 is based on the same time-of-flight infra-red scanning technology as SICK's highly regarded LMS series of long range laser scanners. The TiM300 also has easy-to-use Zonal programming functionality via a USB port or on-sensor buttons, for accurate determination of protected areas.
The TiM300 has a range of up to four metres with a scanning angle of 270°, and can be configured for indication, warning and stopping fields. Its 2D scanning capability enables it to both protect and guide unmanned vehicles and overhead rail conveyors, even on curves. It will also provide presence detection, monitor pallets and load integrity in tight spaces and even guard displays where a discreet or hidden sensor is desirable.
As part of its advanced specification, the TiM300 is highly energy efficient; at only 3W, it uses half the power of comparable scanner sensors. This makes it ideal for battery powered and remote mounting where power drain must be controlled.
