SICK ’ s flexible 2D and 3D LiDAR product range and families are based on a common user environment and programming development platform .
of high-density horizontal layers and 3D point cloud offers outstanding measurement performance and advantage in real conditions , including wide-area environment perception on large machines and outstanding measurement accuracy for access protection in stationary applications . Capable of reliably detecting dropoff edges and obstacles ahead , the range is ideal for anti-collision and environmental perception to support autonomous driving for outdoor automation
With no blind zone and superior detection of small objects at a distance , the multiScan 100 is a product family of 3D LiDAR devices with 3D object detection and contamination indication on board . The multiScan 136 builds on
the capabilities of the multiScan 100 platform by providing 16 LiDAR layers , including two HD layers , 65 ° coverage at 360 ° and 30 m range all round . Meanwhile , the multiScan 165 has the highest detection capability in foggy , rainy and dusty conditions . It offers the same 16 LiDAR layers , but with a narrower coverage angle and range of up to 60 m , and the upcoming multiScan 165S will provide PLb and outdoor safety .
SICK ’ s picoscan 150 sensors : Small in size , big in range and performance
The next evolutionary step from the popular SICK TIM sensor , with higher data streaming speeds and more precise localisation , the picoScan 150 compact 2D LiDAR sensor is one of SICK ’ s highest angular LiDAR devices , with a rotary resolution of 0.05 degrees . The increased light suppression performance helps outdoor performance reach unprecedented levels . The multiScan family has a wide range of accessories , including mounting kits , connection boxes , gateways and reflectors . The picoscan 150 comes in three variants – Core , Prime and Pro , with a working range from 0.05 m up to 120m . Each model has a different specification to allow easy selection of a device for a specific application .
Easy to integrate into various environments , with a range of software interface options , the picoScan 150 is one compact sensor for multiple applications and it ticks all the boxes in terms of range , resolution , accuracy , field of vision , scan rate , power consumption and connectivity . Its high robustness is perfect for harsh and challenging applications , such as mobile platforms , outdoor automation , mobile robots , building security , interactive 3D studios , logistics automation and security protection .
Nathaniel Hofmann , SICK UK Market Product Manager - Machine Vision and Measurement Systems , says , “ These are two great product families with new features and capabilities that expand the capabilities and possibilities of LiDAR sensor technology . We are continually growing and enhancing our LiDAR sensor range , based on a commonality of user environment that ensures products are easy to use , customisable , robust and consistent .
“ We are winning high-profile projects because of the new light immunity and resolution capabilities of the picoScan and multiScan ranges , across a huge range of applications and industries ; from robotics to interactive art installations , intelligent infrastructure to outdoor automation . Our modular , customisable sensors fit almost all applications , with the exceptional reliability and performance you expect from SICK .”
