A Single Device for Stationary and Mobile Safeguarding Applications

The Banner AG4 is a two-dimensional optical measuring safety laser scanner that emits pulses of infrared light to locate and measure the position of objects in its field of view. A single unit that works on the principle of diffuse reflection (i.e., reflected light), the AG4 is an excellent choice for irregularly shaped safeguarding in applications where a standard two- or three-piece safety light screen will not work.

Features and Benefits:

• Two-dimensional laser scanner effectively protects personnel, as well as stationary and mobile systems within a user designated area.


• Persons or objects entering the protection field will be detected and a protective (safety) stop signal will be generated.


• The highly flexible protective and warning fields can be set to match the shape of the work area.


• Compact design, simple installation and easyto-use software provide efficient integration into work zones.


• Two solid-state OSSD safety outputs (250 mA) and two solid-state auxiliary outputs (100 mA).


• Low power consumption (420 mA @ 24V dc) and a very forgiving supply range (24V dc +20%/-30%) require fewer or smaller power supplies, reducing power consumption.


• Five LED diagnostic display presents system status and diagnostics of devices without connecting to a PC.


• Rugged, die-cast aluminum housing withstands the rigor of factory floors.


• System meets all requirements for Type 3 per IEC 61496-1/-2 Category 3 PLd per EN ISO 13849-1, and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 per IEC 61508.

Applications:

• Automated Guided Vehicle collision avoidance


• Mobile Crane collision avoidance


• Robotic work cells: operator load areas and interior stationary applications


• Perimeter/Access vertical guarding


• Point-of-Operation vertical guarding
