Claimed to achieve new levels of
consistent performance in adverse
conditions, Sick UK is launching the
LMS500 family of laser sensors. The
sensors deliver highly reliable moving
object detection and distance measur –
e ment in challenging logistics and
materials handling environments.

A new sensing and signal
processing technology has been
developed for the LMS500, which is
reported to achieve a step-change in
high-speed, accurate performance
and consistent availability to cope
with poor weather or low-visibility.

“The incontrovertible rule in laser
measurement used to be – if you
can’t see it, the laser can’t see it, but
with the LMS500 this is no longer
true,” explains Tim Stokes, Sick (UK)
laser sensor specialist. “These hardworking
sensors ignore spray, smoke
and dust and cope with rain, snow,
ice and fog.”
