Omron OS32C-BKT1 Safety Laser Scanner
Omron OS32C-BKT1 is a bottom and side mounting bracket for OS32C safety laser scanners, designed to hold the scanner securely in the required installation position. Stable mounting helps keep the scanner’s 270° detection field and 0.4° angular resolution correctly aligned with the protected area around machines, access points, or automated equipment. The bracket is intended for OS32C systems used in Type 3, PLd/Safety Category 3 applications, but it does not provide sensing or safety outputs by itself. Its role is mechanical support and positioning. The OS32C-BKT1 belongs to the OS32C Series within the safety laser scanner range from Omron industrial safety products.

The Omron OS32C-BKT1 Safety Laser Scanner Mounting Bracket is designed to hold compatible OS32C scanner units in a stable bottom or side mounting position. Secure mounting is important because the scanner’s configured protective field must remain correctly aligned with the machine area being monitored. Compatible OS32C systems use a 270° detection field and 0.4° angular resolution, and they can operate as Type 3 safety laser scanners for PLd/Safety Category 3 applications. The bracket supports installation geometry only; sensing range, object resolution, warning zones, response time, and PNP OSSD safety outputs are functions of the connected scanner.
OS32C-BKT1 is most relevant where scanner position, mounting direction, and mechanical stability are important. It can support fixed machine guarding, access protection, and monitored floor areas where movement of the scanner could shift the configured safety field away from the intended zone. The bracket also helps keep the scan plane consistently positioned after installation and service. Because it is a mounting accessory, it should be compared by compatibility and installation layout rather than by optical specifications. For a complete OS32C unit that provides a 3 m maximum safety-zone range, configurable object resolution, and multiple monitoring zones, see the OS32C-BP VER2 model.
