  COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS: LASER GUARD™  
 
Laser Guard
 

When you invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in overhead cranes you can't afford even one collision caused by operator error. That's why Magnetek makes LaserGuard.

As the leader in Anti-Collision, we created LaserGuard to watch over your operation. LaserGuard silently protects your most valuable assets-your people, your facility and your cranes.

The system uses self-monitoring optical lasers to monitor your crane's position. This is the most technologically advancedanti-collision system in the industry; LaserGuard is flexible enough to manage crane-to-crane and wall-to-crane operation. The rugged NEMA 4X housing and Class 1 laser have a rated life of more than 10 years. Plus, it's easy to install and maintain.

The Laser Guard has a range of 150 feet and can be
adjusted for three individual contact closures within
the range. The system also features an alarm circuit
if signal degradation occurs.
 

LaserGuard Features & Benefits

Optical laser continually monitors crane position Primary signaling is not affected by electrical noise
Crane-to-Crane LaserGuard provides "dynamic protection"   Multiple cranes are protected when they are in motion on the same runway.
Installer sets 3 programmable Control Zones   3 emergency signals: Alarm, Slow, Stop, Do Not Enter!
Standard 85-240V AC, optional power supply of 10-80 & 180-300V DC   The flexibility to work with almost any crane configuration.
Optical range 10 to 150 feet   Outputs can be tailored to activate within a wide optical range.
LaserGuard is wireless   No requirement to install additional runway conductor
0.5 feet over the operating range   Highly accurate
Installer aligns laser using a simple alignment chart   We have eliminated the guesswork by making it simple to adjust and install
State-of-the-art infrared laser technology   The laser can acquire its target under any lighting conditions.
Technical support   Experts are available via telephone to serve you during installation
Easy installation   A simplified procedure gets our crane back on-line
Laser systems never interfere with each other   Can be installed on several cranes in a single operating area
Single pole, normally open or normally closed contact transfer   Standard relay outputs make LaserGuard simple to install
LaserGuard is the market leader You have the confidence that LaserGuard is proven in use everyday
Class 1 laser meets or exceeds all OSHA 6 environmental regulations   Satisfying the strictest standards for environmental safety-if you look directly into the laser it will not hurt your eyes
