SICK VENTURES OUTDOORS WITH WORLD’S FIRST SAFETY LASER SCANNER CERTIFIED TO IEC TS 62998


NEW SAFETY LOCK OUT FOR MAINS CUT OUTS


N


ow available from Martindale Electric – leaders in safe isolation and electrical safety – is the new LOK6W, a


simple and effective locking off device for Henley and Lucy mains supply cut outs. Designed to restrict finger access to live contacts and


prevent the reinsertion of a fuse whilst maintenance is in progress, the LOK6W is an essential accessory to keep electricians, installation teams and their customers safe in accordance with Electricity at Work Regulations. In common with the LOK6, the new LOK6W features an


extendable design which also makes it suitable for larger Red Spot type fuse holders rated at 63A and 100A Manufactured without any metal parts – to reduce the


risk of use in live working environments – the LOK6W is constructed from a resilient flame-retardant blend of Polycarbonate and ABS for high strength and long-term durability.

scanner in the world to be safety- certified for use outdoors. The outdoorScan3 Safety Laser Scanner safely and reliably monitors hazardous areas around machines and industrial vehicles outdoors with a high level of availability. The SICK outdoorScan3 Safety


S


Laser Scanner answers the need for a high-performance safety scanner certified for outdoor use in industrial automation and intralogistics environments, as well as for integration into autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles used in sectors such as airports, agriculture, and mining. The outdoorScan3 can be used in


safety applications requiring certification to PLd (EN ISO 13849)/SIL2 (EN 62061) and is additionally a class D device according to IEC TS 62998, the new technical specification governing outdoor use. Equipped with SICK’s safeHDDMTM time-of flight infra-red scanning technology, already used in SICK’s microScan3


family, the SICK outdoorScan3 uses intelligent algorithms to filter out the influences of bright sunlight, rain, snow and fog. With the outdoorScan3 onboard, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) can be certified for travel between indoor and outdoor industrial environments and thereby enable the continuous workflow of materials between production halls or warehouses. Says Dr Martin Kidman, SICK’s UK product manager for machinery safety: “The outdoorScan3 ably masters a


delicate balance between performance and resilience to outdoor influences. It has the sensitivity needed to detect people or objects in its monitoring area reliably. At the same time, it is more resilient to the pitfalls of frequent error stops as a result of harsh weather, dirt or dusty environments.
