Design
The airWiper is mounted on the safety laser scanner as an accessory. On the inside
and underneath are air nozzles through which compressed air is directed at the optics
cover.
The nozzles on the inside, and the inner air nozzles underneath are used for cleaning
the base. They are supplied with compressed air via the compressed air connections
A1 and A2 (channel A). The outer air nozzles underneath are used to clean the curved
part of the optics cover. They are supplied with compressed air via compressed air
connections B1 and B2 (channel B).
The compressed air connections of a channel are not connected to each other. Connec‐
tions 1 and 2 of each channel must be supplied with compressed air together, e.g., via
a T-connector.
The compressed air supply, controller, valves, etc. are not part of the airWiper. These
are additionally required.
Function
Compressed air lines are connected to the compressed air connections. When the
optics cover needs to be cleaned, compressed air is passed through the lines. Com‐
pressed air exits through the air nozzles and blows water droplets off the optics cover.
