LMS - Q240i

Elements of Function

principle of operation lms-q240i

The range finder electronics (1) of the 2D laser scanner LMS-Q240i is optimized in order to meet the requirements of high speed scanning (fast laser repetition rate, fast signal processing and high speed data interface).

The angular deflection of the laser beam (2) is realized by a rotating polygon (3) with a number of reflective surfaces. It rotates continuously at an adjustable speed to provide a unidirectional scan within an angle of q = 60° (LMS-Q240i-60) or q = 80° (LMS-Q240i-80).

For every measurement RANGE, SCAN ANGLE, SIGNAL AMPLITUDE, and optionally a TIMESTAMP are provided via a TCP/IP Ethernet interface (4). The LMS-Q240i is prepared to accept a TTL-signal (i.e., 1 pulse per second) from, e.g., a GPS receiver, to reset an internal timer, which is used to timestamp every measurement.
