According to reports, with the LMS1000 and MRS1000 infrared laser radar (LiDAR) sensors introduced, the German SICK LiDAR technology has further improved the measurement accuracy and reliability. The green laser pointer provides more accurate and reliable distance sensing, especially in harsh environmental conditions.
In mining and quarrying workplaces, sensors that are rugged, lightweight, compact and equipped with swivel joints are ideal, so these sensors can be easily factory-customized or retrofitted to existing equipment. They can be mounted on mechanical frames, cranes and gantry, walls, entrances or any place where optimal viewing is possible.
SICK's LMS and MRS sensors add SICK's innovative HDDM + (high-definition distance measurement) "triple echo" scanning technology to ensure high performance even when the sensor is exposed to harsh environmental conditions. When using inferior LiDAR sensors or other alternative technologies, the effects of heavy rain, snow, mist or dust can cause false signals.
Neil Sandhu, SICK's national product manager for imaging, measurement, ranging and systems, explained: "The triple echo green laser pointer scanning technology means that even in harsh environmental conditions, operators can report the reliability of sensor information. Greater confidence. Since the false signal is almost eliminated, the risk of collision or error due to the sensor's inaccurate positioning of the object is much smaller."
“The LMS1000 is the leader in the same size sensor due to its convenient and excellent ranging performance. The MRS1000's four-plane inspection capability allows it to be used for more complex green laser pointer tasks such as multi-level obstacles. Safety in large or sensitive areas such as border mapping, quarry face, waste rock piles and vehicle terminals."
The SICK LMS1000 can be scanned in a single layer plane with a viewing angle of 275° and a typical range of up to 64m. Ten scan areas can be set to allow for many different pre-programmed applications. At the same viewing angle and distance, the MRS1000 can scan on four planes of different heights, scanning the height of the object, such as overhanging obstacles, or using sensors to perform depth mapping from elevated positions. 64 scan areas can be set for a very wide range of applications.
With its extremely high scanning frequency, the LMS and MRS1000 collect a large amount of measurement data to ensure high measurement accuracy for the user. Triple echo evaluation technology means that the effects of snow, fog, rain or dust can be eliminated from the signal, allowing users to have maximum confidence in detection and positioning, including fast moving objects. Rugged, compact housing resists shock, shock and vibration, operating temperature range from -30 ° C to 50 ° C and self-heating, ensuring that the sensor works even in extreme weather conditions and helps Reduce maintenance costs.
SICK uses flexible and powerful SOPAS programming tools to make configuration very simple, less time-consuming teaching demonstrations, and increased sensor versatility and application-specific performance.
Its Ethernet interface provides measurement data output in real time for the operator's timely operation and wide-area availability of data across the organization's local area network through output conversion.
