Sick LMS100-10000 laser scanner, indoor version, medium range

The Sick LMS100 laser scanner

The Sick LMS100 laser scanners are economical, high-performance measurement sensors. They are particularly suitable for applications that don’t require a large measuring distance or high measuring speed. Their exclusive multi-echo technology eliminates false positives due to interference from the surroundings.

Multi-echo technology

The surroundings and the weather can cause interference. Fog, dust, rain and even simply a window are all sources of interference for a laser scanner. Thanks to its exclusive multi-echo technology, Sick’s laser scanners offer greater resistance to interference. They can receive multiple echoes of a laser emission, which enables them to distinguish the real measurement from interference, as shown in the diagram below.
