Tamarri’s priority in warehouse management has always been safety, with a constant commitment to the safety first paradigm! Today we are pleased to present a cutting-edge product: 2D LiDAR sensors, also known as 2D laser scanners, ideal for precise measurements and detection of surfaces.
2D LiDAR:
How the 2D Laser Scanner Works
Based on the principle of measuring the propagation time of light, these compact devices scan their surroundings and measure distances. Thanks to the integrated rotating mirror, two-dimensional monitoring of the protected areas is carried out, completely customizable.
The new rear anti-collision system, based on a latest generation sensor, is enclosed in a robust 5 mm metal support, which allows for easy installation even on the ballast of the trolley.
Our SS61K kit includes:
2D LiDAR sensor with mounting bracket
12-24vDC relay box
LED lamp with acoustic signal
Connection cables
Regardless of the installation angle, 2D LiDAR sensors from SICK offer reliability and precision in both indoor and outdoor environments. Whether for navigation, sensing or measurement, these sensors provide reliable data in multiple applications, from warehouse facilities to manufacturing, from ports to construction sites.
Usage in warehouse environments
The most common application is mounting the sensor on the rear ballast of the forklift, at approximately 40 cm in height, thus ensuring the detection of obstacles on the ground as well.
The settings include two different detection areas:
Area 1: 120° scan, depth of 6-7 m for the first slowdown (orange area)
Area 2: 120° scan, 2-3 m depth for the second slowdown (green area)
The two digital outputs of the sensor are sent to the relay board (3 CO.NC.NO relays), to which the included LED lamp is connected, which signals the presence of dangers to the staff through an acoustic and visual signal. Furthermore, it is possible to configure the slowdown of the vehicle in case of hazardous situations.
- Green light and no acoustic signal in the absence of obstacles
- Orange light with intermittent acoustic signal in the presence of obstacles in area 1
- Orange light with continuous acoustic signal in the presence of obstacles in area 2
In some situations only the lamp is necessary to signal a dangerous situation, without affecting the slowdown of the vehicle, thus simplifying the application of the kit.
SICK safety laser scanners combine experience and technical knowledge to offer excellent performance.
