The new generation of safety laser scanners!
With microScan3 Core, SICK is starting a new generation of safety laser scanners for the protection of hazardous areas, entrances, and hazardous points.
The innovative safeHDDM® scanning technology increases the reliability of the microScan3. It is outstanding in dust and ambient light. It increases the productivity and availability of machines. The housing is rugged. Smart connectivity facilitates safe integration into fieldbus technologies and cuts cabling costs.
Using Safety Designer software, the microScan3 can be intuitively configured and is convenient to commission. The operational status can be called up and read clearly on the multicolored display or via the network. What can first impress, and repeatedly generate enthusiasm? The microScan3 from SICK.

INNOVATIVE safeHDDM® SCANNING TECHNOLOGY
The innovative safeHDDM® scanning technology sets new standards for safety laser scanners. By combining a compact design and a wide scanning range, it ensures that the microScan3 retains its field of view even in challenging ambient conditions.
safeHDDM® is based on SICK's proven HDDM process (HDDM = high definition distance measurement).
The safeHDDM® scanning technology sets a new benchmark in the analysis of time-of-flight measurement. The process patented by SICK delivers unrivaled measurement results for safety laser scanners by filtering and analyzing numerous single pulses. In this way, safeHDDM® enables a very high level of resistance to ambient light and dust. And the most important part: safeHDDM®ensures safety throughout. Even an object with a remission of just 1.8%, for example black clothing, can be recognized safely by the laser scanner.
"microScan3 – reliable distance measurement based on the principle of time-of-flight measurement"
With time-of-flight measurement, the sensor emits a pulse beam that hits the target object and then is reflected back. The time that the beam takes to make this journey is evaluated and the distance to the object calculated. microScan3 has a scan cycle of just 30 milliseconds. Thousands of single pulses can be filtered per scan cycle. These single pulses are used by the microScan3 to calculate 715 safe measured values.
“275°? 275°! – without a single safety blind spot”
A significant advantage of a modern laser scanner is that it can be mounted in a corner, enabling the monitoring of two sides of a machine. A scanning angle of 270° is theoretically enough to cover this. Yet SICK goes one step further: The microScan3 is the first safety laser scanner to reach 275°. Without this extra 5°, inaccurate mounting of the laser scanner can easily lead to a safety blind spot of almost half a meter. The microScan3 makes this problem a thing of the past.
