SICK S30A-6011DA Safety Laser Scanner

 

 

Product Overview

The SICK S30A-6011DA is a safety laser scanner (S3000 Professional series) used for area protection and mobile robot safety.

It creates a 2D protective laser field (190° scanning angle) to detect people or objects entering hazardous zones and triggers a safe stop signal when intrusion is detected.

Key Specifications

  • Diagnostic outputs (configurable)
• Protection rating: IP65
• Safety level:
  • SIL2
  • PL d (Category 3)
• Housing: aluminum die-cast, industrial yellow casing

Working Principle

The scanner continuously rotates and emits laser beams to create a 2D safety zone map:

• Normal condition → safe zone monitored
• Object enters warning field → slow-down signal
• Object enters protective field → machine safety stop (OSSD OFF)

It can store multiple field sets for different machine modes.

Advantages

• High safety performance (SIL2 / PL d)
• Wide monitoring angle (190° coverage)
• Multiple programmable safety zones
• Reliable for AGV and robot safety systems
• Strong resistance to industrial dust and vibration
• Fast response for emergency stopping

Applications

• AGV / AMR mobile robots
• Industrial robot cells
• Warehouse automation systems
• CNC and machine tool safety zones
• Material handling systems
• Safety perimeter protection in factories

Precautions

• Must be correctly configured using SICK Safety Designer
• Field setup is critical (wrong field = unsafe machine behavior)
• Lens must be kept clean (dust can trigger false alarms)
• Not suitable for outdoor direct sunlight without protection
• Installation height and angle must follow safety standard (ISO 13855)
• Requires safety relay / safety PLC integration
