Safety Laser Scanner 2D NANS3-CAAZ30IZ1 SICK 3 m 275° EtherNet/IP

Overview

• The NANS3-CAAZ30IZ1 is a compact safety laser scanner from SICK’s nanoScan3 series, designed for monitoring and protecting hazardous areas in automated systems, particularly mobile platforms such as AGVs and AMRs.
• It employs safeHDDM® scanning technology, delivering precise measurements and reliable performance even in challenging environments with strong ambient light, dust, or dirt. With a housing height of just 80 mm, a 275° scanning angle, and a 3 m protective field, the device is easy to install in space-constrained applications.
• The NANS3-CAAZ30IZ1 offers maximum configuration flexibility with up to 128 monitoring fields and supports industrial Ethernet communication (EtherNet/IP™). It features a system plug for configuration storage and the user-friendly Safety Designer software for fast setup, ensuring stable operation and reduced system deployment time.

Note: The sensor is delivered without a system plug. The system plug must be ordered separately for commissioning and operation.

Product Overview – nanoScan3 Pro NANS3-CAAZ30IZ1

The NANS3-CAAZ30IZ1 is the EtherNet/IP™ variant of the nanoScan3 Pro – SICK’s most compact 2D safety laser scanner. The device uses a pulsed laser diode at 905 nm (Laser Class 1 – eye-safe) to scan the environment over a wide 275° angle, enabling highly flexible protective and warning fields with up to 128 fields and 128 monitoring cases.

Thanks to safeHDDM® technology, the scanner maintains excellent measurement stability even under dust, intense light, or optical interference. Combined with the intuitive Safety Designer configuration software and the ability to freely program 128 fields and 128 monitoring cases, the NANS3-CAAZ30IZ1 provides a highly versatile safety solution for industrial applications.

Industrial Applications of the NANS3-CAAZ30IZ1

With SIL 2 / PL d safety ratings and EtherNet/IP communication, the NANS3-CAAZ30IZ1 is an ideal safety solution for a wide range of industrial applications:

• Collaborative Robots (Cobots): Monitors the protective field (up to 3 m) along the scanning contour and instantly reduces speed or stops the robot upon detecting human approach. Support for 128 monitoring cases enables dynamic speed adjustment based on safe zones.
• AGV / AMR (Automated Guided Vehicles / Autonomous Mobile Robots): The 275° scanning angle provides wide coverage in front and on both sides. Dynamic protective field switching automatically adapts the safety zone according to vehicle speed, meeting functional safety requirements for mobile platforms.
• Presses, Punching Machines & Safety Gates: The 85 ms response time ensures machines stop promptly when someone enters the hazardous area.
• Automotive & Electronics Assembly Lines: Flexible safety zoning with 128 configurable fields. Direct EtherNet/IP integration with safety controllers reduces wiring and simplifies control cabinets.
• Warehousing & Intralogistics: Monitors corridors, conveyor entrances/exits, and loading/unloading stations. Safe contour detection uses fixed structures as reference to identify foreign objects within the scanning area.

Comparison: NANS3-CAAZ30IZ1 (EtherNet/IP) vs. NANS3-CAAZ30ZA1 (EFI-pro)

Both nanoScan3 Pro models share identical mechanical specifications and safety ratings. The main difference lies in the network protocol:

Note: Choose the NANS3-CAAZ30ZA1 (EFI-pro) if your entire safety system uses SICK devices to achieve the fastest possible response time.
