When it comes to automatic swing doors, safety and reliability are non-negotiable. One of the most commonly asked questions by door system integrators, installers, and facility managers is:
“How responsive and reliable is the Safescan Laser safety sensor? Can it detect obstacles quickly enough to prevent accidents?”
As a professional OEM manufacturer of automatic door sensors, we understand the critical role safety sensors play in protecting users and ensuring the smooth operation of swing doors. In this article, we’ll break down the performance, response time, and reliability of the Safescan Laser sensor—and what it really means for your application.
What Is the Safescan Laser Safety Sensor?
The Safescan Laser is a high-precision active infrared or laser-based presence detection sensor designed specifically for automatic swing doors. It detects the presence of people, objects, or sudden obstructions in the swing path of a moving door.
Key features include:
Laser scanning technology for accurate object detection
Zone-adjustable coverage for different door sizes and use-cases
Weather and ambient light resistance
Real-time door control interface
Response Speed: Why ≤100ms Matters
One of the most important specs for any safety sensor is response time—how fast the sensor reacts when it detects an obstacle. The Safescan Laser sensor offers a typical response delay of ≤100 milliseconds. Here's what that means in real terms:
Rapid hazard detection: Within 0.1 seconds of detecting an obstruction, the sensor triggers the door controller.
Instant stop or reversal: The door system receives the signal and either halts movement or reverses direction, depending on its configuration.
Enhanced user safety: This rapid reaction time helps prevent physical contact or injury, especially in environments with elderly, disabled, or fast-moving pedestrians.
Compared to conventional infrared sensors, the laser-based Safescan system provides more precise and quicker detection, especially for small or fast-moving objects.
