Machine Safety - Laser Scanners

Industrial automation and controls refers to the use of technology, such as computers and sensors, to automate and control industrial processes. This can include things like manufacturing, material handling, and quality control. Machine safety is a critical aspect of industrial automation and control, and involves the use of various technologies and techniques to protect workers and equipment from potential hazards. Laser scanners are a type of technology that can be used in machine safety systems to detect the presence of objects or people in the workspace. Laser scanners use lasers to create a scanning pattern that can be used to detect objects or obstacles in the area. These scanners can be used to protect workers from moving machinery, for example, by shutting down the machine if an object or person is detected in a hazardous area. Laser scanners can also be used to monitor the position and movements of people or objects in the workspace, allowing for more precise and efficient control of the industrial process.
