Omron OS32C-SP1-4M Safety Laser Scanner
Omron OS32C-SP1-4M is a Type 3 safety laser scanner with a maximum operating range of 4 m, designed for wider machine guarding and area protection with side cable access. Its 270° detection field helps cover broad spaces around automated equipment, while 0.4° angular resolution supports accurate protective-zone configuration. Minimum object resolution can be selected at 30, 40, 50, or 70 mm, with the maximum safety distance depending on the selected setting. Up to 70 monitoring-zone sets can combine one safety zone with two warning zones for changing machine conditions. Dual PNP OSSD outputs support PLd/Safety Category 3 applications. The OS32C-SP1-4M belongs to the OS32C Series within the extended side-entry scanner range from Omron functional safety products.

The Omron OS32C-SP1-4M Safety Laser Scanner combines side cable access with a maximum safety-zone range of 4 m for machine guarding and wider industrial area protection. Its 270° detection field supports broad coverage around automated equipment, while 0.4° angular resolution helps define accurate protective boundaries. Minimum object resolution can be configured at 30, 40, 50, or 70 mm, with the operating range reaching 1.75 m, 2.5 m, 3.0 m, or 4.0 m respectively. Up to 70 monitoring-zone sets can combine one safety zone with two warning zones for changing machine conditions and operating modes.
OS32C-SP1-4M 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 provide non-safety status signals, while configurable ON-to-OFF response time ranges from 80 to 680 ms. The side-entry connection is useful where wiring from the rear would be difficult because of machine frames, guards, or limited installation depth. Normal operation is rated at up to 5 W, with an 18-pin power connection and M12 communication interface. This combination supports wider protected areas while preserving practical side-entry wiring access around machinery. For a related 4 m side-entry scanner using the DM configuration, see the OS32C-SP1-DM-4M model.
