Scanner arrangement
First Claim
1. A sensor arrangement for scanning a scanning area, comprising:
- a scanner generating a scanning field, said scanning field is defined between two legs spaced at a scanning angle, (A), from each other;
said scanning field is subdivided into first and second zones, said first zone is an activation zone and said second zone is a protection zone;
said scanner is a laser scanner that emits detection rays which are reflected by an object within said scanning field and due to propagation delay said object is assigned to said first activation zone or said second protection zone;
said scanner controls a blocking means for a passageway, said passageway being delimited at least in its horizontal extension;
said scanner disposed at a distance, as viewed in the passage direction, from said passageway and thus also from said controlled blocking means; and
,said scanning field directed towards said passageway and extending through said passageway.

Abstract
The invention relates to a sensor arrangement for scanning a scanning area (16, 36) comprising a scanner (10, 30, 42, 54) that generates a scanning field (12) which is defined between two legs spaced from each other by a scanning angle (A), and which scanner is adapted to control at least one blocking means (18, 38, 50) for a passageway (32, 56), said passageway (32, 56) being delimited at least in its horizontal extension. The invention is characterized in that a scanner (10, 30, 42, 54) is mounted at a distance, as viewed in the passage direction (14), from the passageway (32, 56) and thus also from the controlled blocking means (18, 38, 50), and that the scanning field (12) is directed towards the passageway and extends through the passageway (32, 56).
