Body Detection MicroGuard®
The Body Detection MicroGuard® is designed to guard entry/exit areas in hazardous work cells. It utilizes the standard Metal Box (MG) or DIN-Rail Mount (DR) controller and provide coverage heights from 16" to 124". Standard scanning distances of 20' apply, with extended range units shooting up to 35' on a straight scan. The sensing fields consist of a four inc, one inch beam spaced board, then an eight inch inactive or spacer board, then a four inch, one inch beam spaced board and so on.
The minimum object sensitivity is nine inches, in other words "Body Detection". All optional features can be utilized with the Body Detection MicroGuard®. The most common will be the Guarding Mute-Out (MO) to allow conveyed material to pass through the MicroGuard® sensing field but will not allow a person to walk into the hazardous area. The following examples describe the functionality of the MicroGuard® in conjunction with muting sensors in entry/exit guarding applications.
