SICK TiM Series Laser Scanner LiDAR Sensor, 10 m Max Range

SICK TiM Series Lidar Sensor, 10m Maximum Scanning Distance, 0.05m Minimum Scanning Distance - TIM351-2134001 / 1067299

This lidar sensor is a Compact scanning rangefinder designed for industrial automation and sensing tasks. It operates as a non-safety LiDAR module that acquires distance measurements across short to medium ranges using infrared light. The device is intended for integration into systems where precise, Rapid distance information supports control, detection or monitoring functions.

Features and Benefits:

• Maximum scanning distance 10 m provides extended detection reach
  Minimum detection distance 0.05 m enables very close-object sensing
  Peak Wavelength 850 nm ensures consistent infrared illumination
  Fast response 67 MS supports quick update cycles
  Maximum response time 134 MS allows configurable measurement timing

Applications

• Suitable for object detection on conveyor systems in factories
  Ideal for presence sensing in automated assembly lines
  Used for short-range localisation in mobile platforms
  Can be used for obstacle detection in material handling equipment

What standards cover the device’s laser classification and ingress protection?

It complies with laser safety and ingress standards including IEC 60825-1 and IEC 60529 variants relevant to optical emission and enclosure protection.

How Compact is the unit for integration into tight installations?

The housing measures 60mm by 60mm by 86mm, enabling installation in confined mechanical assemblies.

Is this suitable for safety-critical perimeter guarding?

No, it is specified as a non-safety component and should not be used where safety-rated sensing is required.

What response characteristics should be considered when tuning control loops?

The device supports update behaviour with the shortest indicated response performance of 67 MS and a longer response figure of 134 MS for different operating modes.
