1 LMS4x21 2D LiDAR sensor with laser protective cover
2 Deflector mirror
• If the 2D LiDAR sensor cannot be mounted at the required minimum height, the
measuring points can be acquired using a deflector mirror mounted parallel to the
2D LiDAR sensor.
• The resulting extension of the light path makes it possible to save space when
mounting the 2D LiDAR sensor on the conveying equipment.
• The mirror’s special vacuum-coated surface eliminates refraction, meaning that no loss
occurs during deflection.
• The figure above shows an example of how the 2D LiDAR sensor and deflector mirror
can be arranged above the transport belt.
• The remaining system construction and operating principle of the VMS4100/5100
satisfy the requirements for the relevant type approval certificate.
NOTE! These operating instructions describe the system variant without the deflector
mirror.
