Smarter Sensing, Better Automation.
Meet the SICK picoScan - a high-performance 2D LiDAR sensor designed to tackle real-world challenges in automation, logistics, and robotics. Combining cutting-edge technology with real-world reliability, it delivers the accuracy and performance today’s systems demand - and scales effortlessly for future applications.
Performance That Packs a Punch.
With scanning ranges of up to 120 meters and angular resolutions down to 0.05° angular resolution, the picoScan allows autonomous systems to detect obstacles earlier and navigate with greater confidence.
For applications where precision is everything, the picoScan is your go-to choice — offering:
Typical statistical error ≤ 2 mm (within 0.05 m to 5 m range)
Angular error ≤ 0.005°
Scan Field Flatness of +/- 1 degree (Since we’re already talking about precision specs)
Its advanced HDDM+ (High Definition Distance Measurement+) technology uses multiple laser pulses per measurement point to capture highly detailed surface data — even in complex or signal-heavy environments like busy warehouses, commercial spaces, and outdoor environments.
Flexible Options for Any Workflow.
Whether you need raw measurement data or full feature sets, there’s a picoScan for your needs:
picoScan120: Compact and efficient in an IP65 housing, offering raw measurement data for indoor mobile robots
picoScan150: In addition to raw measurement data, it offers a rugged IP67 housing for outdoor applications, advanced capabilities, and expandable feature packages, including:
Field Evaluation
Multi-Echo Technology
Built-in IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)
Data Reduction & Filter Packages
LIDAR-LOC, SICK’s own contour-based localization and positioning software
...with even more add-ons available based on your application needs.
Core – Maximum Range up to 25 m
Prime – Maximum Range up to 60 m
Pro – Maximum Full-range up to 120 m with almost all add-ons included (LiDAR-LOC models available)
Need to switch tasks on the fly?
Dynamic Sensing Profiles let you instantly switch between configurations — no restarts or downtime required. Perfect for multi-mode operations or environments with changing requirements.
Built Tough for Real-World Environments.
From rain and fog to dusty plant floors — the picoScan series is built to perform in tough industrial conditions:
Environmental Particle and Fog filters alongside Multi-Echo Technology filters out environmental noise.
Robust housing resists shock and moisture.
Contamination detection alerts you before performance is impacted.
Quick to Integrate, Fast to Deploy.
Get started fast with support for:
ROS1, ROS2, C++, Python, drivers available.
Example codes on SICK's GitHub can be used as templates - no need to rewrite code already available.
Configure via SOPASair, REST API, or telegram commands.
With the picoScan150-LOC, LiDAR-LOC is pre-installed, with the localization software already licensed and ready for use.
Real Benefits. Real Impact.
For AMRs: Scan farther, move faster, and boost throughput.
For Safety Systems: Detect risks early — even in dusty, foggy, or reflective environments.
At Fixed Stations: Perform volume measurement, size verification, and detect even small objects.
Better Performance, Smarter Investment.
Why pay for features you don’t need? The modular design of the picoScan lineup keeps your costs low and your system efficient. Plus, faster deployment and fewer maintenance issues save time and money long-term.
