Please refer to the diagram below to see how the vertical and horizontal distances of the
LMS Axle should be combined for the best possible measurement results.
Fig. 52: AxleDetector project planning – Ideal mounting position for the LMS Axle
•
The dark green triangle (1) marks the area where the LMS Axle will achieve the best
possible performance.
•
A mounting position within the light green triangle (2) will provide good to very good
results.
•
If the LMS Axle is mounted within the gray area (3), the system's ability to count axles
accurately will be reduced.

Mounting accessories for the LMS511 2D LiDAR sensor
In order to protect the 2D LiDAR sensor housing against the weather, we recommend
fitting a
weather hood
.
The weather hood also protects the 2D LiDAR sensor from direct sunlight on the 2D LiDAR
sensor housing (overheating) and, to a great extent, from dazzle resulting from sunlight or
other light sources.
Mounting brackets
Suitable mounting kits for mounting the LMS511 2D LiDAR sensors (with or without the
weather hood) can be purchased from SICK AG.
If the bracket is provided by the user, the following points must be observed:
•
Stable mounting bracket that allows adjustable
alignment of the 2D LiDAR sensor in the X- and Y-axes.
•
4 x M6 screws for the LMS511.
•
The screw length must be selected in accordance with the wall thickness/bracket used
