Laser Scanner vs. Light Grids: Which is More Reliable for High-Speed Door Safety Protection?
High-speed automatic doors improve passage efficiency for cargo entrances and exit in industries such as manufacturing, logistics and warehousing. However, due to their high operating speed, they introduce potential safety risks for people or vehicles passing through. This article introduces two main types of sensors used for high-speed doors safety protection, light grid and laser scanning sensors. We explain their difference in terms of accuracy, immunity, and functionality. The LZR®-WIDESCAN, laser scanning sensor from BEA, stands out for its high accuracy, environmental independence, user friendly installation and maintenance. Read this article to understand the advantages of laser scanning sensors over light grid and how LZR®-WIDESCAN ensures safety while improving efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
