LMS5xx
Laser Measurement Technology
The introduction of the world’s first 2d laser scanner by SIcK years ago revolutio-
nized measurement technology. our laser measurement sensors enabled custo-
mers from a host of different industries and with the most diverse requirements to
take productivity and security to unparalleled levels. SIcK’s numerous evolutionary
improvements ever since and SIcK’s renowned application engineering excellence
have made the name SIcK and laser measurement sensors globally recognized
synonyms.
and now it’s time for a new revolution – LMS5xx brings a whole range of pioneering
features and benefits to scores of applications where speed, accuracy, security and
availability are paramount.

Some things, however, never change. SIcK will always continue to provide you with the engineering
expertise and solution excellence that you can rightfully expect from the market leader.

With LMS5xx, this is no longer true. SIcK’s new, high-speed sampling 5-echo technolo-
gy provides five measurements for each emitted pulse – with the reflectivity value for
each distance value. rain, fog, snow, dust – LMS5xx looks right through it. and if you
