The Sick LMS291-S05 is a state-of-the-art 2D laser scanner designed for a variety of outdoor applications. This robust sensor is equipped with infrared light technology operating at a wavelength of 905 nm, ensuring high-precision detection and measurement tasks in diverse environmental conditions. With a laser class of 1, it is safe for use in areas where eye safety is a concern.

The LMS291-S05 boasts an expansive horizontal opening angle of 180 degrees, coupled with a scan frequency of 75 Hz, which allows for rapid and comprehensive area coverage. Users can benefit from its fine angular resolution options of 0.25°, 0.5°, and 1°, providing flexibility in the level of detail captured for different applications.

This scanner has a substantial working range of up to 80 meters, with a reliable detection capability even at a 10% remission rate up to 30 meters. Additionally, it features fog correction capabilities, enhancing its performance in challenging weather conditions.

The device is housed in a durable aluminium die-cast casing, coloured in a subtle grey (RAL 7032), and is rated IP65 for protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for outdoor use. It has a power consumption of 30 W and requires an operating voltage of ≥ 24 V DC, ± 15%.

With a weight of approximately 4.5 kg and dimensions of 156 mm x 155 mm x 210 mm, the LMS291-S05 is compact enough for easy integration into existing systems without being obtrusive. Its mean time between failures (MTBF) is an impressive 50,000 hours, indicating a high level of reliability and longevity.

The Sick LMS291-S05 is an excellent choice for professionals seeking a high-quality, reliable 2D laser scanner for outdoor industrial applications. Its technical sophistication and durable design ensure it meets the demands of rigorous industrial environments while providing precise and efficient scanning capabilities.
