Functionality
Overview
The nanoScan3 configuration software is installed on the robot control and operated
on the teach panel. The configuration software can be used to configure specific safety
laser scanners from SICK that are connected to the robot controller. The configuration
can also be verified in the configuration software.

Requirements on the application
To use the product, the application must meet the following requirements:
•
The robot must be one of the following types from Universal Robots:
°
UR3e
°
UR5e
°
UR10e
°
UR16e
•
Robots and humans perform their work in the same workspace, but at different
times (cooperation,
•
The robot works at a fixed position. If the robot is mounted on a moving table, the
safety laser scanner must be mounted on the same table.
•
The application requires a protective field ≤ 3 m.
•
Access to the hazardous area must be designed so that the protective fields of
the safety laser scanner cover the entire point of access to the hazardous area.
A person cannot enter or reach into the hazardous area without interrupting the
protective fields.
•
Bypassing the protective field (e.g. by reaching around or stepping over it) is not
possible and this is ensured by additional measures as necessary.
•
It is ensured that persons do not bring any aids into the monitored area with which
persons can use to get above the scan plane without interrupting the protective
field (e.g. ladder or chair).
•
The area to be monitored is free from all airborne particles or process residues in
its operational status.
