The device is particularly well suited for integration into both fi xed and mobile robotics systems, according to the company.

Description:
In early 2020, SICK released its smallest 2D safety sensor to date - the SICK nanoScan3. The nanoScan3, which measures just 101 x 101 x 80 mm, and has a field range of three meters with a scanning angle of 275-degrees. The device offers a choice of eight (Core version) or up to 128 (Pro version) configurable fields, including navigation data and contour-detection fields.

Analysis:
SICK representatives describe the nanoScan3 as the world’s smallest safety laser scanner. Be that as it may, at only 80 mm in height (8 cm or 3.1 in.), the small size of the nanoScan3 allows the sensor to be easily sited into locations other than open, fixed in astructure. In fact, the device is particularly well suited for integration into both fi xed and mobile robotics systems, according to the company.

The nanoScan3 is based on SICK’s proven safeHDDM (High Definition Distance Measurement) scanning and evaluation technology, which allows the sensors to operate under didifficult conditions such as dust or variable lighting. This enables it to meet another requirement for use in robotics systems. - Dan Kara
