Advantages

Innovative safeHDDM® scanning technology
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.
How it works


Exceptionally reliable



The microScan3 is significantly more reliable than standard measurement techniques thanks to the safeHDDM® scanning technology, thus increasing your productivity.

Rugged design
Excellent durability and productivity



The microScan3 has been developed with demanding and harsh industrial applications in mind down to the last detail. It is the perfect combination of safety and productivity.

Smart connectivity
Low cabling costs and fast device replacement with plug and play



The microScan3 facilitates machine integration and device replacement through standardized interfaces and integrated configuration memory, thereby saving you time and money.

Intuitive operation
Straightforward commissioning and intuitive operation

The LEDs and the multi-colored display of the microScan3 are clearly visible.
Important diagnostic data can be viewed via the pushbuttons and display.


The microScan3 is intuitive to use. After the Safety Designer software has been configured, you can carry out device diagnosis during operation using the display and pushbuttons.
