SICK continues to push the boundaries with its latest advancements in LiDAR technology by expanding its high performance multiScan and picoScan LiDAR ranges to make them even more powerful, compact and robust. These updated LiDAR sensors offer improved object detection, faster data streaming, and field evaluation capabilities while packaged in a durable and compact design.
“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.” – Nathaniel Hofmann, SICK UK Market Product Manager – Machine Vision and Measurement Systems
Which variant suits you? SICK’s flexible 2D and 3D LiDAR product range and families are based on a common user environment and programming development platform. Fast data streaming, 2D and 3D object detection with field evaluation enhance the quality, security and usability of both the multiScan and picoScan. This enables companies to develop dynamic sensing profiles and scale their LiDAR capabilities, leveraging the data generated and customising sensors to their specific applications and requirements.
The robustness of both product ranges improves accuracy and provide ambient light immunity up to 100klx, making them suitable for all lightning conditions. Having a rugged design with an anticorrosive coating, venting element and vibration resistance makes the sensor ranges resistant to shock, vibration, and interference, offering use in rough ambient conditions and harsh environments with a selection of connectivity options and accessories designed for outdoor use.
The mutliScan range, powered by Time-of-Flight technology, offers advanced 3D sensing capabilities, making it an essential tool for a variety of real-world applications. With high-quality 3D measurements and the ability to perform multiple simultaneous measurements, the multiScan sensors are highly precise in detecting objects. This makes them ideal for complex environments where accurate and reliable data is critical, such as autonomous driving, outdoor automation, and stationary applications like access protection. The combination of high-density horizontal layers and 3D point cloud data ensures outstanding measurement performance even in challenging conditions.
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.
