Business Wire
Scientific Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq:STIZ), a leading North
American provider of automation safeguarding technology, introduced
the OptoShield OS3100 Laser Light Safety Scanner -- an advanced
area guarding scanner which employs laser light to monitor entry
into a user-configurable safety detection zone and send a stop
signal to a guarded machine. The scanner can be used to protect
personnel from stationary hazardous machinery, such as work cells,
robot stations and internal press guarding or moving equipment,
such as automated guided vehicles and transfer carts. With a
detection radius of 15 meters, the OptoShield can also be use in
security applications for the detection of intruders into a
user-defined security zone. According to a January, 2005 report
issued by Venture Development Corporation on the estimated $250
million North American market for machine safeguarding equipment,
laser scanners represent the second highest expected product growth
segment, by percentage, in the safeguarding equipment market from
2004 to 2007. According to VDC, on a global basis, laser scanners
are expected to be an estimated $90 million product segment by
2007. "We believe the introduction of the OptoShield represents an
important product and underlying technology for STI in our quest to
be a 'one-stop' supplier of automation safeguarding products and
services," commented Joseph J. Lazzara, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Scientific Technologies, Inc ("STI"). "Safety
laser scanners are an important tool for the resolution of area
guarding problems around machinery and automatic guided vehicles."
Designed and manufactured in the United States by STI, the
OptoShield OS3100 is in stock and available for immediate customer
deliveries. STI has been issued five patents on the OS3100.
Intuitive configuration software facilitates easy navigation and
user set-up, allowing the OptoShield to be user configured in a
large number of area guarding arrangements. The OptoShield
introduces significant advancements over similar types of sensors
with advanced diagnostic communications and superior interface
options. OptoShield provides diagnostic features not typically
available in safety scanners. These features include a two-digit
numeric display, four standard LED status indicators and patented
Intrusion Indicators that identify where the safety zone is
encroached without the need for difficult diagnostic searches and
an external computer display. OptoShield is an excellent choice for
safeguarding hazardous work cells, transfer lines, robot stations,
internal press guarding, irregular shaped or changing areas and
automated guided vehicles. About Scientific Technologies Inc.
