SICK MICS3-AAAZ40AZ1P01 Sensor
SICK MICS3-AAAZ40AZ1P01 safety laser scanner, part 1075842. microScan3 family protective field monitoring for machines and AGVs.
Overview
The SICK MICS3-AAAZ40AZ1P01 (part number 1075842) is a safety laser scanner of the microScan3 family. It monitors hazardous areas and hazardous points around machines with configurable protective fields, combining high availability with simple diagnostics, and integrates into the machine safety circuit for personnel protection.
How It Works
The scanner rotates laser pulses across its scanning plane and evaluates the time of flight for each direction. Configured protective fields and warning fields are evaluated internally; when a person or object enters the protective field, the safe outputs switch off and the machine executes the safe stop.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it differ from safety light curtains?
The scanner monitors a 2D area with freely shaped fields, while curtains monitor a plane between two bars; scanners suit irregular hazard zones.
Can it protect mobile machines?
Yes, the microScan3 family includes variants for mobile applications on AGVs.
How are fields configured?
Through the family configuration software with password-protected safety parameters.
