microScan3 Core safety laser scanner

The microScan3 Core is a safety laser scanner from SICK that uses a rotating laser to monitor a protective field and a warning field in two dimensions. The Core variant is designed for straightforward use, providing a scanning angle of 275 degrees and a protective field range of about 4 m or 5.5 m, with a warning field range much larger. It meets Type 3 requirements, SIL 2 and PL d. It can store multiple monitoring cases and offers options of either local OSSD outputs or safe communication on industrial Ethernet networks. Configuration is done with the Safety Designer software, and the front is easy to clean and replace. Typical applications are protection of AGVs and mobile robots, hazardous area protection on machines and robots, and access control to robot cells.
