SICK’s TiM100 2D LiDAR Sensor offers security protection of artefacts in museum and galleries. With a 200 degree field of view, and the ability to be mounted and aligned to the object needing protection, the TiM100 offers the makers say unobtrusive and compact laser scanning for non-contact security of paintings or artefacts without the need for physical barriers.
It’s part of SICK’s range of TiM and LMS laser scanning products for industrial, building and internal security applications. The TiM100 has a monitoring range of up to 3m and a maximum 15.7 square metre scanning area. As for setting up, teach-in can be performed by digital input, or via a PC, and all parameters can be stored for downloading to another device or replacement if required
With St Albans-based SICK’s HDDM+ technology, the sensor is able to deliver time-of-flight scanning with stable results which are not affected by the presence of dirt, dust, moisture or ambient light, according to the company.
Neil Sandhu, SICK’s National Product Manager for Imaging, Measurement and Ranging, says: “When a compact, simple detection device is the most appropriate and affordable solution, the TiM100 is straightforward to set up and configure. With simple teach-in and IO-Link capability, the TiM100’s parameters can be easily cloned to provide ‘plug and play’ set-up when a sensor needs to be replaced.”
The TiM100 is the economy option within the TIM series of LIDAR detection and ranging devices. SICK’s field evaluation algorithms integrated in the TiM100 offer consistency of detection. The 100mm high by 60mm wide device weighs only 90g, so is suitable for many applications where conventional laser scanning detection devices are too large or too conspicuous, the firm suggests. Installation is by a click-in mount and, the product has a 2.2W power offtake. Visit www.sick.co.uk.
