SICK LMS511-22100 Sensor
SICK LMS511-22100 outdoor 2D LiDAR sensor, part 1071996. Long-range scanning with configurable fields for ports and heavy machinery.
Overview
The SICK LMS511-22100 (part number 1071996) is an outdoor 2D LiDAR sensor of the LMS511 PRO family. It scans the environment with long range and fine angular resolution, providing object detection and area monitoring for cranes, mobile equipment and outdoor infrastructure.
How It Works
Laser pulses are deflected across the scanning plane by a rotating mirror. Time-of-flight measurement produces a distance profile for each scan, and the PRO evaluation turns this profile into configurable field-based switching outputs. The rugged design keeps scanning stable under outdoor conditions.
