3D machine guarding for high-risk equipment.
Sentinel Depth is purpose-built for reach-in and struck-by risks around industrial machinery. It uses stereo vision to define a 3D danger zone and can trigger a hard stop when a person or object crosses into the protected area.
Machine guarding with depth, detection, and proof.
Stop danger-zone entry
Sentinel Depth creates a 3D danger zone around high-risk machinery. When a hand, arm, person, or object crosses the protected boundary, it can trigger a hard stop before contact occurs.
Work beyond 2D detection
Depth sensing helps verify position and distance in conditions where flat 2D detection can struggle, including glare, reflections, clutter, and angled approaches around the machine.
Review every stop
Each stop is tied to machine geometry and reviewable 3D data, giving teams the context they need to investigate events, validate interventions, and stand behind what happened.
- Vision
- 3D · global shutter
- Intel RealSense D455e stereo builds a metric danger plane around real machine geometry, with clean capture of fast motion.
- Decision
- Fusion · pose + depth
- Detection, pose, and depth fused - robust where 2D vision fails: glare, reflections, clutter, odd angles.
- Act
- <0.8s
- Plane crossing to Hard Stop in under 0.8 seconds, straight to the PLC.
- Evidence
- 3D point cloud
- Every stop exports real geometry - auditable, not a black box.
- Connectivity
- GigE PoE
- One cable, data to 100 m, on threaded M12 / M8 industrial connectors.
- Build & processing
- IP66/67
- Industrial housing (IP67 on project basis); runs on-site on the Sentinel Hub, no cloud round-trip.
Compact 3D sensing, mounted at the machine.
Sentinel Depth is a compact stereo bar designed to sit near the machine danger zone. With industrial M12 Ethernet and M8 power connectors, GigE PoE support, data runs up to 100 m, and IP66 housing, it brings depth-based guarding close to the equipment it protects.
Add guarding where machines need it most.
Sentinel Depth connects through Sentinel Hub alongside Sentinel cameras and supported CCTV, adding a dedicated depth-sensing layer for winders, presses, robotic cells, and other high-risk machines. Use it where standard visual monitoring is not enough to verify danger-zone entry or trigger a hard stop.
Protect the zone standard cameras can’t verify.
Sentinel Depth creates a depth-based danger zone around machines, edges, and moving equipment. It helps verify when a person or object has crossed into the protected space, so teams can trigger hard stops with more confidence than a flat 2D line.
ANONYMIZED · NO FACIAL RECOGNITIONAcross the invisible line.
A volumetric danger zone around presses and robots fires the moment a person crosses it - depth the floor camera can’t judge.
Depth sees it. Hard Stop intervenes.
