It offers a protective field range of up to 3 m, a warning field of 10 m, a maximum measuring range of 40 m, a scan angle of 275°, and an angular resolution of 0.17°. The scanner supports flexible configuration of up to 128 monitoring fields and 128 monitoring cases, with simultaneous monitoring of up to 8 fields. Configuration and diagnostics are performed easily via the Safety Designer software over USB or Ethernet.
Product Overview
The NANS3-CAAZ30AA1 is a 2D safety laser scanner from the nanoScan3 Pro I/O – EFI-pro series by SICK. It is optimized for hazardous area monitoring and safe navigation in mobile automation systems such as AGVs, AMRs, collaborative robots (cobots), and automated warehouses.
Thanks to the EFI-pro protocol, the AA1 version enables safe networking of multiple SICK safety devices within the same system. This significantly reduces wiring complexity and enhances system scalability. Precise measurement data is output via the Ethernet interface.
With safety certifications including Type 3 (IEC 61496), SIL 2 (IEC 61508), and PL d / Category 3 (EN ISO 13849), the NANS3-CAAZ30AA1 is suitable for applications requiring medium to high safety levels in industrial environments.

Important Note: The NANS3-CAAZ30AA1 is supplied as sensor without system plug. The system plug must be ordered separately. For the Pro I/O – EFI-pro version, it is recommended to select a system plug with Ethernet interface to fully support the EFI-pro protocol and measured data output. The system plug contains the integrated configuration memory, enabling quick device replacement without rewiring or reconfiguring the safety application.
Applications of NANS3-CAAZ30AA1 in Industry
Thanks to its ultra-compact design, safeHDDM® technology with excellent resistance to light, dust and dirt, and dynamic field switching capability, the NANS3-CAAZ30AA1 is an ideal solution for various indoor automation applications:
- Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR): Real-time monitoring of the travel path, automatic switching of protective fields according to speed and direction, while providing accurate positioning support.
- Collaborative Robots (Cobots): Safeguarding the workspace around cobots to ensure safety when humans and robots share the same area.
- Automated Warehousing & Logistics: Protection of corridors and entry/exit zones with flexible configuration of multiple monitoring scenarios.
- Production Lines & Packaging Machines: Safeguarding hazardous machinery and high-speed conveyors in industrial environments.
- Service Robots: Easy installation on compact robots used in hospitals, supermarkets, or e-commerce warehouses.
The NANS3-CAAZ30AA1 not only meets stringent safety requirements but also boosts productivity by minimizing unnecessary machine downtime and enabling more flexible automation.
