• Provides non-contact area protection using laser scanning technology
• Integrated safety logic for immediate machine stopping upon intrusion detection
• Robust housing design suitable for harsh industrial conditions

Applications

• Perimeter guarding for automated guided vehicles
• Protection zones around robotic work cells
• Monitoring of hazardous areas in assembly lines

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific firmware version and communication protocol compatibility with your existing control system before purchase. Ensure that the mounting bracket and cable accessories are included or ordered separately as required by the installation site specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model based on the required scanning distance and field of view needed for the specific hazard zone. Consider the environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and potential optical interference from other machinery when determining suitability.

Part Context

This component is part of SICK's MicroScan3 family of safety laser scanners. These devices are designed to replace traditional physical guards with virtual ones, allowing for flexible production layouts while maintaining high safety integrity levels according to international standards.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated firmware versions within the same MicroScan3 series. Verify if newer variants offer improved resolution or additional interface options that may benefit the current application without requiring major system redesigns.
