Safety Laser Scanner
The IDEC SE2L safety laser scanner is the smallest in the world, while outperforming most of the competition. Features include a 270-degree sensing angle, a 5m safety protection zone, a 20m warning zone and customizable protection patterns. Master/slave functionality allows one SE2L scanner to act as master and communicate with up to three other scanners. The safety controller only needs to communicate with the master, reducing the required number of input and communication channels on the controller. This can allow lower-cost controllers to be applied in applications such as providing full 360-degree protection for an AGV, which requires four scanners. SE2L can cover long distances, which makes it ideal for use with a variety of industrial robots and machinery. With dual protection mode, SE2L can also be programmed to safeguard two different zones for two robots at once. This can reduce the number of laser scanners and light curtains by half!
Optimized safety level for harsh environments
The SE2L Advanced is a compact, high-performance safety laser scanner with increased durability. It maintains stable, accurate detection in tough environments, across the protection zone and up to 2 warning zones.
Driving the evolution of wireless AGVs/AMRs
Improved Ethernet connectivity helps users to connect their SE2L Advanced scanner to a PC via Wi-Fi for configuration and monitoring. Link the scanner to the AGV/AMR’s Ethernet access point with a LAN or USB cable to enable wireless connection between the scanner and the PC.
Enhanced environmental resistance
On the outside, a conductive coating on the optical window prevents dust, dirt and other air pollution from sticking to the scanner. On the inside, the scanner’s components and internal build have been improved to further reduce false positives.
Sensing area changes based on turning speed
The SE2L Advanced has 4 encoder inputs for 2-axis monitoring. This enables speed-based area switching while the AGV/AMR the scanner is mounted on is turning. Improvements to the scanner's hardware also increase the AGV/AMR's navigational accuracy.
Comprehensive access protection and collision avoidance
• Dual protection function: the SE2L Advanced can monitor 2 separate hazardous areas and replace up to 2 light curtains.
• Reference function: Detection of position changes and reference boundaries, such as whether a door is open or closed.
• Muting function: Disables part of the protection zone so that workpieces can be brought into the area.
• Override function: Workpieces that are stopped due to false positives during muting can still be moved.
