Smallest Safety Laser Scanner Delivers Superior Value, Unprecedented Versatility
Today's machine builders need smarter and more compact safety solutions to help them build better and more streamlined equipment faster than ever before. Today's end users need smarter safety solutions that will not only keep their personnel safe, but that will also help them to maximize productivity.

The new OS32C Safety Laser Scanner from Omron STI - the world's most compact scanner in its class - is engineered to deliver superior value and unprecedented versatility in both OEM and retrofit applications. Some of the most significant benefits include:
  • Faster and easier equipment commissioning and troubleshooting with Patented Individual Sector Indicators

  • Up to 4 times faster MTTR than other laser scanners, with lower maintenance cost and manufacturing down time cost from equipment damage with the unique Memory Module

    • Using the intuitive Memory Module, a maintenance technician can get a manufacturing line running again - without using a computer

  • System monitoring over LAN and WAN via the integrated Ethernet Port

  • Lowest profile equipment designs thanks to the world's smallest footprint, which is particularly significant in material handling applications

  • Lowest power consumption, which is perfect for mobile applications

Quickly and Easily Estimate the Direct and Indirect Costs of an Injury
Estimating the financial costs in advance of an injury is difficult. Fortunately, OSHA's interactive $afety Pays website offers assistance.

Using insurance company claims data, in four simple steps the tool calculates the estimated direct and indirect costs of an injury. And if you enter your profit margin information, $afety Pays will also project the additional sales required to recover the costs of the injury. Learn more.


Safety Training Shouldn't have a Beginning and an End
Manufacturing plants typically do a good job of educating new workers about safety procedures. But that initial training isn't enough to ensure employees will take the safety message to heart and work safely every day, and it isn't enough to satisfy OSHA regulations. A continuing safety program is necessary to meet both goals (Feingold, Jean. "The Importance of Continued Training," Fabricating & Metalworking, November/December 2007).

Read the complete article to learn more about identifying what should be included, frequency and other essential training considerations.

Did You Know?
Did you know that, in addition to being the industry's most compact safety laser scanner, the OS32C is also the first to provide integrated management via Ethernet?

This helps keep machines up and running by allowing the user to check the operating state and analyze the cause of an emergency stop via LAN, and take quick corrective action, even in large-scale applications with multiple scanners.
