Laser scanner
For driverless transport systems
With the MicroScan3, Sick is launching a safety laser scanner that can be used for the safety, localization and navigation of driverless transport systems, mobile machines and autonomous platforms.
The SafeHDDM digital scanning technology captures the area around the scanner with an angular resolution of up to 0.1° and evaluates the data. The scanning angle of the safety laser scanner, including an alignment reserve of 5°, is 275° and the range is 9 m; this means that an area of more than 190 m² can be monitored with one sensor.
The EFI-pro version of the MicroScan3 is the central sensor component of the intelligent EFI-pro system from Sick. The safety system is used in automated guided vehicles and collaborative robots.
