More than meets the eye.
Compact unit for big solutions.
SICK’s new high-speed sampling techno logy
breaks new ground for laser scanning applica-
tions in virtually any weather conditions.
The outstanding performance of LMS5xx with
superior range, resolution and frequency va-
lues, multiple I/Os, exible connectivity and
superior software, all packed into a small foot-
print unit, takes existing applications to new
levels and allows for new applications.
Ingenious features for self-monitoring, auto-ca-
libration and anti-pollution as well as dramati-
cally reduced power consumption provide maxi-
mum reliability and low total cost of ownership.
Modular approach with PRO and Lite Lines,
each with several models, to suit each appli-
cation in terms of features and functionality,
such as outdoor or indoor, spot sizes, inputs,
outputs, communication protocols.

In addition to providing superior visibility in bad weather
conditions, the 5-echo technology also increases accuracy.
If, for example, the spot covers the edge of a surface, stan-
dard systems will only see the echo of the surface itself. A
single pulse and 5 echoes are able to detect the surface
of the object in front with its edge plus any second object
further away – LMS5xx can see it all.
• Dramatically improved availability in even the worst wea-
ther conditions
• Ideal for low-visibility environments
• Maximum detection reliability
• Superior measurement precision
• High scanning speed
• Flexible and powerful configuration software
The new 5-echo technology is designed to make laser mea-
surements more independent of weather conditions and
to take the reliability of the data to new levels. LMS5xx can
receive up to ve echoes for each emitted pulse. In the il-
lustration to the right, each of the measurements 1 to 4 are
above the trigger threshold – but none of them represents
the actual object of interest. Conventional laser measure-
ment sensors and even systems with dual-echo technology
would fail in such a scenario. LMS5xx reliably detects the
actual target with echo 5.
The 5-echo technology is the perfect response to the chal-
lenges of applications involving the measurement of dyna-
mic objects in changing and bad weather conditions as well
as low visibility environments such as tunnels or mines. In
toll systems, LMS5xx can reliably detect cars where conven-
tional scanners would only see splash or spray water.
