SICK has expanded its 2D LiDAR sensor range for localisation and anti-collision applications with the compact TiM2xx series.
The e-commerce sector continues to experience strong growth. This has also led to an increase in demand for automation solutions to support the growing logistics infrastructure and the transport of goods and products. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are handling more logistics tasks of varying kinds. The latest AMR designs are becoming increasingly compact. 2D LiDAR sensor solutions need to keep pace with these new types of applications in terms of functionality, size and cost.
The TiM240 is the first variant in the TiM2xx series and has an enclosure rating of IP65 for indoor use. The TiM240 scans an area of up to 200 m2 at 15 times/s. This allows the user to cover a relatively large space with one scanner, to detect the smallest changes in the space due to the high scan rate and to quickly transmit these changes to the controller via Ethernet. The HDDM+ technology provides a stable output of measurement data. The low power consumption of 2.9 W becomes a particular advantage when used in battery-operated vehicles.
At only 150 g the TiM240 is lightweight and takes up very little space with its compact dimensions of 75.8 x 79.7 x 60 mm, enabling it to be integrated into ever-shrinking AMRs.
