TÜV Rheinland: First-ever Certification of a Safety Laser Scanner for Outdoor Use as per TS 62998
Protection against injuries caused by machinery / Sensors also need to function in fog, rain or snow / Potential applications: automated passenger airbridges and driverless transport vehicles
(PresseBox) - In a world first, Te presence of a person in the hazard zone of a machine, it responds by stopping the machine. The safety laser scanner, which is certified for outdoor use, is deployed in stationary applications, automated passenger airbridges and driverless transport vehicles operated on factory premises.
New test basis for outdoor applications
Until now it used to be the case that safety laser scanners could only be certified for indoor use ? e.g. for machinery operated inside production halls. ?When safety laser scanners are used outdoors, the sensors also have to function reliably even in adverse weather conditions such as fog, rain or snow,? says
Safety defined
Until now, many solutions for automated vehicles operated outdoors were implemented in a non-safe manner. ?This new standard represents a real improvement when it comes to protecting people in hazard zones,? says Robben. Manufacturers can now have their products certified accordingly, thereby demonstrating that their safety laser scanners also function reliably outdoors in accordance with the current state of the art ? and protect lives in the process.
