SICK safety laser scanners are the crystallization of advanced know-how, experience, and excellent performance. They can be used in various scenarios, including mobile or stationary applications, area protection, access monitoring, indoor and outdoor environments. SICK safety laser scanners combine know-how and experience with maximum performance. Whether mobile or stationary, for area protection or access protection, indoors or outdoors – our comprehensive portfolio offers the right cost-effective package for each and every requirement. Using the time-of-flight measurement principle, the compact devices scan their surroundings and measure distances. An integrated rotating mirror allows protection areas defined by the customer to be monitored in two dimensions.
Here is a detailed introduction:
Features of SICK safety laser scanners
Reliable Scanning Technology: They adopt the safeHDDM® scanning technology, which makes the scanners highly resistant to dirt, dust, ambient light, and other environmental influences, reducing downtime in harsh industrial environments. This technology can also provide high - precision measurement data, with a navigation range of up to 64 m and an angle resolution of 0.1°.
Diverse Protection Functions: They can provide protection for hazardous areas, dangerous operation points, and passages, reaching performance level d. They are suitable for monitoring stationary machines, mobile applications, and collaboration with robots. Some models offer up to 128 freely configurable areas and 8 synchronized protection areas. Users can flexibly adjust the monitored areas according to speed, load, and cornering conditions, and can also set multiple sampling and resolution values individually.
High-speed and High-accuracy Scanning: The high-resolution laser sensors and grayscale image analysis technology enable high-speed and high-accuracy scanning, which is suitable for objects of various surface materials and colors. The scanning angle can reach 180 degrees or even 275 degrees, which can cover a larger working area and ensure the accurate detection of objects and positions on the production line.
Good Environmental Adaptability: With a protection level of IP65, they have a comprehensive protection mechanism including shock resistance, dust resistance, and water resistance, which can ensure the stable operation of the equipment in harsh environments.
Convenient System Integration: They support a variety of connection methods such as Ethernet and CAN bus, which can be easily integrated into various industrial automation systems to realize real - time data transmission and processing.
microScan3: It is a compact and robust safety laser scanner. The patented safeHDDM® technology combines the advantages of a large scanning range, highly accurate measurement data, and a compact structure. It has a protection area range of 5.5 m and a scanning angle of 275°. It is suitable for the safety protection of material transfer stations, robots, and automatic guidance systems, and can monitor the safe collaboration between humans and machines. It can be safely integrated into industrial networks through EtherNet/IP™, CIP Safety™, PROFIsafe, and EtherCAT.
nanoScan3: It is the smallest safety laser scanner from SICK, with a height of only 80 mm. It is suitable for the protection and positioning of mobile platforms. The reliable safeHDDM® scanning technology provides high - precision measurement data, and it is highly resistant to light, dust, and dirt. It has an alarm area effective distance of 49 m, a ranging range of 49 m, a scanning angle of 180° (adjustable), and a response time of 120 ms. It can be integrated into industrial networks through I/O.
outdoorScan3: It is certified by IEC 62998 and is suitable for outdoor use. Even in harsh weather conditions, it can operate safely and reliably. It adopts the outdoor safeHDDM® scanning technology, which is further enhanced and developed for outdoor applications, and is especially suitable for rainy, foggy, and snowy days.
S3000 series: This series includes multiple models such as the S3000 Standard, S3000 Advanced, and S3000 Professional. They have protection area effective distances of 4 m, 5.5 m, or 7 m. The S3000 series has the characteristics of compact structure, high reliability, and rich functions. It can be integrated into system plugs through configuration memories and communicate with other SICK devices through EFI interfaces. Some models also have functions such as incremental encoder input for speed - related area switching and measurement signal output of RS-422.
