Product Overview – Safety Laser Scanner nanoScan3 NANS3-AAAZ30AN1
The NANS3-AAAZ30AN1 belongs to the nanoScan3 Core I/O series from SICK. It was specifically developed for applications that demand a compact, lightweight safety device with easy integration into mobile robots or machinery with limited installation space. With housing dimensions of only 106.6 × 80 × 117.5 mm and a weight of just 0.67 kg – significantly smaller and lighter than the microScan3 – the nanoScan3 is the ideal choice when every gram and every millimeter counts in system design.
The device uses pulsed laser diode scanning technology (wavelength 905 nm) with a 275° scanning angle, a fast response time of only 70 ms, and a minimum resolution of 20 mm – superior to the microScan3. In addition, the nanoScan3 features integrated Ethernet for outputting real measured distance data via the CoLa 2 protocol. This enables seamless integration into AGV navigation systems or remote monitoring without the need for additional hardware.
5 Key Features:
- Protective field: 3 m – optimized for small AGVs and compact workstations
- Ultra-compact size: 106.6 × 80 mm, weighing only 0.67 kg
- Response time: 70 ms – the fastest in SICK’s standard safety scanner range
- Integrated Ethernet: real measured distance data output via CoLa 2
- Safety rating: PL d (EN ISO 13849), SIL 2 (IEC 61508), Type 3 (IEC 61496)

Industrial Applications of the nanoScan3 Safety Laser Scanner
Thanks to its ultra-compact size, low weight, and ability to output measured data via Ethernet, the NANS3-AAAZ30AN1 enables many applications that are difficult to achieve with larger scanners:
- Compact AGVs and AMRs: With a weight of only 0.67 kg and a small housing, it integrates easily onto AGV fronts without affecting payload or maneuverability. The 70 ms response time ensures timely stopping even at moderate speeds. Measured distance data via Ethernet allows more flexible and responsive navigation systems.
- Collaborative robotic arms and cobots: In Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) environments, the nanoScan3 creates dynamic protective fields around the cobot. When a person approaches closely, the device triggers speed reduction or a safe stop. Its small size allows direct mounting on the robot body without interfering with operations.
- Compact machinery and small workstations: Protects hazardous areas on machines with small footprints, such as welding machines, small CNC cutters, and presses. The 3 m protective field is sufficient to enclose most single workstations in the factory.
- Safety doors and access points to restricted areas: Installed at entrances to limited-access zones to detect unauthorized entry. The Static Protective Field Switching function allows changing the protective field according to work shifts or operating modes without reconfiguring the device.
- Medical equipment and cleanrooms: Low power consumption (3.9 W) and a compact aluminum housing make it suitable for cleanroom environments or medical applications that require small, low-heat safety devices.

If your application requires protection of small areas under 3 m, a compact device, or measured distance data for navigation, the NANS3-AAAZ30AN1 is the optimal and more cost-effective choice. When a protective field larger than 3 m is needed, consider the microScan3. AUMI offers free consultation to help businesses select the right device.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the price of the NANS3-AAAZ30AN1 safety laser scanner?
The price depends on quantity and included accessories (system plug). Please contact AUMI at hotline 0917 991 589 for the best quotation, along with advice on selecting the appropriate system plug and mounting accessories for your application.
Q2: What type of system plug does the nanoScan3 NANS3-AAAZ30AN1 require?
The NANS3-AAAZ30AN1 is supplied as a sensor without system plug. You need to purchase a suitable system plug separately: NANSX-AAABAEZZ1 (Part No. 2104949) if Ethernet port is required, or NANSX-AAABZZZZ1 (Part No. 2105106) if only power and I/O are needed. Contact AUMI for advice on selecting the correct plug.
Q3: What is the Ethernet port on the nanoScan3 used for?
The Ethernet interface on the nanoScan3 serves two main purposes:
(1) Output of real measured distance data via the CoLa 2 protocol – extremely useful for AGV navigation systems.
(2) Remote configuration and diagnostics over a LAN network without direct USB cable connection. This is a significant advantage compared to the microScan3, which has no Ethernet.
Q4: What are the differences between NANS3-AAAZ30AN1 and MICS3-AAAZ90AZ1P01, and which one should I choose?
The nanoScan3 (NANS3) is smaller and lighter (0.67 kg vs 1.15 kg), has a faster response time (70 ms vs 90 ms), and includes Ethernet, but its protective field is limited to 3 m. The microScan3 (MICS3) offers a larger protective field of up to 9 m and a warning field of 64 m. Choose nanoScan3 for confined spaces or when measured data is required; choose microScan3 for wide-area protection.
Q5: Where can I buy genuine SICK nanoScan3 safety laser scanners in Vietnam?
AUMI is the official authorized distributor of SICK in Vietnam. We supply the NANS3-AAAZ30AN1 with 100% genuine products, full CO/CQ documentation, official warranty, and technical support. Hotline: 0917 991 589 (Hanoi) | 0932 226 100 (Ho Chi Minh City).
Q6: Can the nanoScan3 be used with cobots and HRC applications?
Yes. The compact size and 70 ms response time make the nanoScan3 suitable for Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) applications with cobots. However, the safety distance must be calculated according to ISO 13855 based on the cobot’s stopping time and the scanner’s response time. AUMI provides free safety distance calculation support when you purchase the device.
