SICK outdoorScan3 safety laser scanner

Click2Contact

The SICK outdoorScan3 is an IEC62998-certified safety laser scanner for outdoor use, making possible the degree of automation of outdoor industrial processes which is already expected from indoor industrial environments. Despite various weather influences, the product can protect stationary and mobile applications without additional protective devices.

The device’s optimised optics cover causes weather effects to roll off. It is almost always upside down, which means that no particles or water remain on the device collar.

The unit also offers a PL d safety level in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 and self-diagnosis, as well as features that a safety sensor needs for outdoor use. Additional features include a protective field range of up to 4 m and a scanning range of up to 275°. The operating temperature range is -25 to +50°C, and quick and simple commissioning is possible with the Safety Designer engineering tool and diagnostic options via the display.

Due to SICK’s outdoor safeHDDM scan technology, the laser scanner operates well in sunlight with an illumination intensity of up to 40,000 lux. In addition, the intelligent software algorithm detects rain and snow, easily filtering out these environmental influences — rain up to a precipitation intensity of 10 mm/h. In fog, the device detects all obstacles due to its fogSight fog function.
