Additional Safety Notes for Mobile Use
•
There are additional requirements for the use of scanners on automatic guided
vehicles (AGV) and transporter trolleys according to DIN EN 1525.
•
If possible, expanded detection zones to each side should be provided in order to
safeguard access from the side and directly in front of the vehicle.
•
If is it not possible to completely safeguard the contour of the vehicle including its
trailer and the dimensions of its load while making curves, additional protective
devices such as switch strips must be attached to the side of the vehicle.
•
There must be a minimum safety distance S
on both sides. A one-sided minimum safety distance is admissible in certain
exceptional cases. The specifications of DIN EN 1525 must be complied with.
•
The basic value of the detection zone width for an AGV corresponds to the
maximum vehicle width including the trailer and the dimensions of the load plus the
detection zone additions Z
AGV while making curves must be considered when defining detection zones.
•
If the SIMATIC FS600 Laser Scanner is mounted on vehicles, the mounting
(especially the angle of inclination), the vehicles' braking power, and if applicable,
play in the vehicle guidance (the difference between the optimum and actual line of
guidance) must be regularly checked in order to guarantee the reliability of
detection.
