SICK safeRS and safeRS3 safe radar systems

The safeRS and safeRS3 safe radar systems are electro-sensitive 3D protective devices for safe personal detection with high machine productivity. The devices protect applications in accordance with PL d or SIL 2 in line with ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061. A radar system consists of an evaluation unit and up to six sensors which enable switchover to a protected mode as soon as a person enters the protected area.

The high resistance to dirt, dust clouds, wood chips, plastic particles and sparks as well as the insensitivity to ambient light such as solar radiation or infrared waves facilitates operation, even under tough ambient conditions. The radar systems feature a rugged sensor housing and quick and easy commissioning.

The sensors provide safe hazardous area protection at machines and vehicles both in- and outdoors. They are also designed to provide safe automatic restart in complex applications such as robot cells due to the 3D monitored area. The devices are suitable for harsh environments, such as wood processing, steel production, and paper and plastic production.
