SICK NANS3-CAAZ30AN1 Safety Laser Scanner

SICK NANS3-CAAZ30AN1 Safety Laser Scanner

Product Introduction

The SICK NANS3-CAAZ30AN1 is a Type 3 safety laser scanner built for indoor applications. It belongs to the nanoScan3 Pro I/O product version and ships as a sensor without a system plug. Specifically, this model delivers a protective field range of 3 m and a warning field range of 10 m. Its distance measuring range reaches 40 m. Therefore, it suits robot cells, automated guided vehicles, and hazardous area guarding.

Technical Specifications

First, the NANS3-CAAZ30AN1 scans with an angle of 275°. The angular resolution is 0.17°, which supports precise field definition. Meanwhile, the response time is 70 ms. The protective field supplement is 65 mm. The scanner monitors up to 8 fields simultaneously. In addition, it stores 128 fields and 128 monitoring cases. These capacities allow flexible configuration for changing operating states.

The resolution is configurable across multiple values. Options include 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm. This flexibility helps users balance detection capability and field size. Furthermore, the device uses a pulsed laser diode with a wavelength of 905 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 NANS3-CAAZ30AN1 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 remains reliable.

Functions and Features

This scanner offers restart interlock and external device monitoring (EDM). It also supports multiple sampling and monitoring case switching. Simultaneous monitoring is available for complex layouts. Additionally, static and dynamic protective field switching are both supported. Safe contour detection and contour-as-a-reference functions add further flexibility. An integrated configuration memory simplifies replacement and commissioning. Measured data output runs via Ethernet.

Interfaces and Communication

The connection type depends on the selected system plug. The NANS3-CAAZ30AN1 provides 4 universal I/Os, 2 OSSD pairs, and 8 universal inputs. It also includes 4 dynamic switching signals and 6 static control inputs. Configuration uses a PC with Safety Designer software. The configuration and diagnostics interface is USB 2.0 micro USB. Data services include CoLa 2, DHCP, and SNTP. Display elements consist of 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 3.9 W without output load. Dimensions are 106.6 mm x 80 mm x 117.5 mm, including the system plug. The weight is 0.67 kg. The housing is aluminum with RAL 1021 yellow and RAL 9005 black. The optics cover is polycarbonate. 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 61496-3 standards. Continuous shock ratings are 50 m/s² at 11 ms and 100 m/s² at 16 ms. EMC compliance covers IEC 61496-1, IEC 61000-6-2, and IEC 61000-6-3.

Installation Guide

First, select a mounting position that covers the hazard zone. The SICK NANS3-CAAZ30AN1 needs a clear scan plane. Next, attach the sensor using the appropriate bracket. Then, connect the system plug 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 application. For instance, choose 30 mm for hand detection or 70 mm for body detection. Meanwhile, assign monitoring cases to machine states. The integrated configuration memory stores all settings. Finally, verify the OSSD outputs and test the restart interlock. Proper alignment prevents blind spots and false trips.
