HAZARDOUS AREAS & SAFETY STAY SAFE IN MORE INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS
The safeRS3 3D radar system from SICK keeps workers safe in heavy industrial or harsh outdoor environments
reliable safe access protection for workers in hazardous industrial areas, including robot cells. The radar detection principle is ideal for heavy industrial or harsh outdoor environments, which may challenge conventional optical detection systems. Incorporating best-in-class safe radar

technology, the SICK safeRS3 is an electro- sensitive 3D protective device for safe personal detection. With a higher measurement accuracy, it protects personnel in stationary applications to PLd or SIL2 in line with ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061. By introducing the safeRS3, SICK has
achieved a longer 5m protective field range, with up to a 100° opening angle and the ability to set up to four protective fields. A safety- over-networks version has been introduced with PROFINET control for easy integration into a PROFIsafe network. The safeRS3 extends the versatility of safe radar to more industrial applications. As a
rupture disk product from the many options the company offers. The web-based tool allows users to input basic application needs, such as product size and set pressure, to find the solutions that best match their requirements. Additional application inputs refine the search. The guide accelerates rupture disk product selection without need for registration. The website allows visitors to identify the core application

requirements using drop-down menus using their preferred technical units for pressure and temperature to ensure they arrive at the correct product. The menus are comprehensive and include product size, burst pressure, connection type, and service phase (gas, liquid, or 2 phase flow). Further simplifying product selection, BS&B’s online sizing software runs both ASME and
European Pressure Equipment Directive style pressure relief device sizing calculations directly through the BS&B server, then allows the user to save the output as a PDF datasheet. Geof Brazier, Managing Director, BS&B Safety Systems, Custom Engineered Products
Division, says the product selection tool shows engineers the best options given the criteria input, even if some fields are not completed. For example, if the size is unknown, a user can still input the burst pressure, and service phase and review all the options. This is much faster than reviewing multiple product web pages – the search is done for you! He continued: “While on the website you can ‘Live Chat’ with a BS&B expert who can even
guide you through the use of our product selection and flow calculation tools.” BS&B Safety Systems

ICK has launched the safeRS3, a safe 3D radar system designed to enable maximum productivity with highly-
category 3 device, the SICK safeRS3 can be used in robotic applications in accordance with ISO 10218-2. Using the safeRS3, operators can avoid
unnecessary machine downtime while continuing to safeguard personnel. A safe automatic restart function helps to ensure maximum productivity in more complex machine cells, including those with robots. The validation view helps operators to view where field infringements are in real time, so false trips can be identified quickly. The device’s 60GHz radar detection principle
ensures it can filter out particles or contamination in dirty or high-humidity conditions. It is not affected by low or bright light, and performs accurately despite dirt, dust
WEBSITE OFFERS INTERACTIVE PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE
S&B Safety Systems has launched a new website that features an interactive product selection guide focused on helping process engineers select the correct
clouds, woodchips, plastic particles, flying swarf or sparks or steam, heavy rain or humidity. Operating at temperatures between -40°C
to +60°C, the safeRS3 offers reliable protection in heavy industrial facilities including steel production, timber or plastics fabrication or in outdoor environments e.g. where gantry cranes are operating in bulk materials handling facilities, mines or quarries. Because of its technology and 3D cone-
shaped coverage, the device is ideal for hazardous areas with more complex topography. Steps, platforms, and supports, for example, can cause shadowing effects and could therefore be difficult to cover comprehensively using laser scanners, which detect in 2D planes. Each radar sensor has a rugged IP67
housing and can be configured with up to six sensors. With an adjustable operating range and selectable opening angle, the system can adapt to almost any environment. With the PROFINET version, a standard Ethernet connection also enables configuration, diagnostics and Modbus integration. Alternatively, customers can purchase an economical control with local I/O and 2 pairs of OSSDS for configuration and diagnosis via USB-C.
