Smallest safety laser scanner
12 February 2020
SICK has launched the world’s smallest safety laser scanner, the nanoScan3, designed for easy and economical integration into the smallest of machine designs, particularly for automated guided vehicles, carts, mobile platforms and service robots

The ultra-compact SICK nanoScan3 is just eight centimetres tall, so it can fit snugly into the spaces in machines where safety laser scanners could not previously have been located. Packing in all of SICK’s latest safety laser scanning technology advances, the nanoScan3 enables the highest level of responsiveness when safely adjusting a machine’s speed and direction.
The SICK nanoScan3 features a full suite of programmable features such as multiple, dynamically adapting protective fields and contour detection. With SICK’s innovative safeHDDM (High Definition Distance Measurement) scanning and evaluation technology onboard, the nanoScan3 promises maximum reliability with the option of precise data output for use in navigation.
