SICK MICS3-AAAZ40AZ1P01 Safety Laser Scanner

SICK MICS3-AAAZ40AZ1P01 Safety Laser Scanner

Product Introduction

The SICK MICS3-AAAZ40AZ1P01 belongs to the microScan3 Core I/O product version. It ships as a sensor including the system plug. This Type 3 safety laser scanner suits indoor applications. Specifically, it provides a protective field range of 4 m and a warning field range of 40 m. Therefore, it fits robot cells, palletizing stations, and automated production lines.

Technical Specifications

First, the MICS3-AAAZ40AZ1P01 scans with an angle of 275°. The angular resolution is 0.39°. Meanwhile, the response time is 70 ms. The protective field supplement is 65 mm. The scanner monitors up to 4 fields simultaneously. In addition, it stores 8 fields and 2 monitoring cases. These values support straightforward safeguarding tasks.

The resolution is configurable across several options. Choices include 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 70 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm. This range helps users match detection capability to the application. Furthermore, the device uses a pulsed laser diode with a wavelength of 845 nm. The laser class is 1 under IEC 60825-1 and 21 CFR 1040.10/1040.11. Besides, the detectable remission factor spans 1.8% to several 1000%.

Safety-Related Parameters

The SICK MICS3-AAAZ40AZ1P01 meets Type 3 requirements per IEC 61496. It achieves SIL 2 according to IEC 61508. Moreover, it complies with Category 3 under EN ISO 13849. The performance level is PL d. The PFHD value is 8.0 x 10⁻⁸ per hour. The mission time is 20 years per EN ISO 13849. In the event of a fault, at least one OSSD enters the OFF state. Therefore, the safe state stays dependable.

Interfaces and Communication

The connection type is a male connector, M12, 8 pin, A-coded. This common male connector handles power supply plus inputs and outputs. The MICS3-AAAZ40AZ1P01 provides 3 universal I/Os and 1 OSSD pair. Configuration uses a PC with Safety Designer software. The configuration and diagnostics interface is USB 2.0 Mini-USB. Display elements include a graphic color display and LEDs. Protection class is III per EN 61140.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The supply voltage is 24 V DC, with a range of 16.8 V DC to 30 V DC. Typical power consumption is 7 W without output load. Dimensions are 112 mm x 135.1 mm x 111.1 mm. The weight is 1.15 kg. The housing is aluminum with RAL 1021 yellow and RAL 9005 black. The optics cover is polycarbonate with a scratch-resistant outer coating. The enclosure rating is IP65 per IEC 60529.

Ambient light immunity reaches ≤ 40 klx per IEC 61496-3. The operating temperature range is –10 °C to +50 °C. Storage temperature spans –25 °C to +70 °C. Vibration and shock resistance follow IEC 60068 and IEC 61496 standards. Continuous shock ratings are 100 m/s² at 16 ms and 150 m/s² at 6 ms. EMC compliance covers IEC 61496-1, IEC 61000-6-2, and IEC 61000-6-4.

Installation Guide

First, choose a mounting position that covers the hazard zone. The SICK MICS3-AAAZ40AZ1P01 needs a clear scan plane. Next, attach the sensor using a suitable bracket. Then, connect the M12 8-pin cable for power and I/O wiring. The supply must stay within 16.8 V DC to 30 V DC. After wiring, configure the fields with Safety Designer software.

Specifically, define the protective field and warning field shapes. Set the resolution to match the risk assessment. For instance, choose 30 mm for hand detection or 70 mm for body detection. Meanwhile, assign the two monitoring cases to machine states. Finally, verify the OSSD output and test the restart behavior. Proper alignment prevents blind spots and nuisance stops.
