Ultra compact laser scanner

The new ultra-compact S300 Mini laser scanner from SICK offers superior versatility and reliability for stand-alone or complex, multi sensor safety configurations. Said to be deal for both moving and static applications, its size and functionality make it an excellent single unit replacement for common multi-component set-ups or barriers such as safety mats which are subject to wear.

"The S300 Mini scanner is the result of more than 15 years of SICK experience in the field. It is the smallest safety laser scanner currently available and offers the best price vs. performance point on the market," comments Seb Strutt, safety specialist SICK (UK). "It is available in two models: firstly as the Standard, single sensor unit, which brings high technology to applications requiring lower cost solutions, for example vertical or horizontal protection in packaging machines and materials handling. The second, Remote model is for more complex applications requiring multiple field switching such as automated and self guided vehicles." The S300 Mini is only 116mm high by 102mm deep and 105mm wide, offering easing mounting in a wide range of fixed and moving locations. IP65 environmental protection allows its use in dirty environments and outside.
