SICK picoScan

picoscan advantages

Everything that a good 2D LiDAR sensor requires

The picoScan100 2D LiDAR sensors from SICK combine a high performance and future proof hardware with numerous practical software functions in a compact and rugged housing. And best of all: A tailored solution for almost any application can be assembled using the product configurator. That's what we call cost-effectiveness.

Compact

Thanks to its compact housing, the picoScan100 is easy to integrate into many applications even when space is at a premium. In the case of autonomous mobile robots, the small footprint of the sensor enables a good balance to be achieved between the space used by the sensors and other key components, for example, the battery.
 

Powerful

The high performance hardware of the picoScan100 scans a large area of the environment and ensures a continuously high measurement data quality. Its high computing power also allows the measurement data to be filtered and pre-processed on the sensor.
 
 

Cost-effective

A tailored solution for almost any application can be assembled using the product configurator. It also offers numerous smart software functions that allow an efficient design-in and a long service life. The result: High cost-effectiveness in a total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis.
  
 

Everything that a good 2D LiDAR sensor requires

The picoScan100 covers a large working range. The working range is defined by a wide field of view and high scanning ranges. It is also important to be able to reliably detect small and dark objects.

Wide field of view of 276° (270° + 6°)

The wide field of view of the picoScan100 allows a large working range. With two diagonally aligned sensors, it is even possible to cover 360° – and do so with little mounting and alignment effort.
 
 
 
 

Gap-free environment perception with HDDM+

HDDM+ multi-pulse technology enables the picoScan100 to deliver seamless, interference-resistant scans. Overlapping laser pulses ensure reliable detection of small objects and suppress interference—ideal for environments with multiple mobile platforms.

options

The large working range (75 m at 90% remission) and the high angular resolution (up to 0.05°) of the picoScan100 enables small objects or fine structures to be detected even at large distances. This makes the sensor suitable for accurate localization or reliable collision avoidance.
