Omron OS32C-BP-4M Safety Laser Scanner
Omron OS32C-BP-4M is a Type 3 safety laser scanner with a maximum operating range of 4 m, designed for wider machine guarding and industrial area protection. Its 270° detection field supports broad coverage around automated equipment, while 0.4° angular resolution helps define accurate safety-zone boundaries. The scanner supports 30, 40, 50, and 70 mm minimum object resolution, with the available safety distance depending on the selected setting. Up to 70 monitoring-zone sets can combine one safety zone with two warning zones for changing operating conditions. Dual PNP OSSD outputs support PLd/Safety Category 3 safety control. The OS32C-BP-4M belongs to the OS32C Series within the area safety scanner range from Omron functional safety products.

The Omron OS32C-BP-4M Safety Laser Scanner is designed for applications that need a wider protective field around automated machines, access points, or industrial work areas. Its maximum safety-zone range reaches 4 m, while the 270° detection field helps monitor a broad area from one scanner position. The operating distance depends on minimum object resolution: 1.75 m at 30 mm, 2.5 m at 40 mm, 3.0 m at 50 mm, and 4.0 m at 70 mm. A 0.4° angular resolution supports accurate field definition, and up to 70 monitoring-zone sets can combine one safety zone with two warning zones.
OS32C-BP-4M is a Type 3 safety laser scanner designed for PLd/Safety Category 3 applications and provides dual PNP OSSD outputs for protective control. Auxiliary and warning outputs support non-safety status functions, while configurable ON-to-OFF response time ranges from 80 to 680 ms. Normal power consumption is up to 5 W, with an 18-pin power connection and M12 communication interface for integration. The 4 m maximum range is available at 70 mm object resolution, making resolution and required protective distance important selection factors when planning the protected machine area.
