SLM
Scanning Laser Module
Renishaw’s range of OEM Scanning Laser Modules (SLM) utilise pulsed time-of-flight
technology to provide users with contactless measurements to passive targets.

This is achieved through using an invisible and eye-safe laser source and low-level
detector mounted within a robust housing.

The SLM variant is designed specifically to measure distances to static targets in a 360
degree plane around the laser module. This can be used to create a 2D representation of
the layout around the module.
Features of Renishaw’s SLM include:
•t

Range of 1 m to 500 m to a passive target (depending on variant)

•t

Accuracy of 15 cm**

•t

Repeatability of 10 cm**

•t

SLM-150 = 1 m to 150 m

•t

Angular accuracy 0.02º

•t

SLM-500 = 1 m to 500 m

•t

Laser safety to Class 1

•t

Data rate – output of up to 36 KHz

Maximum distances are quoted to the
passive targets*.

•t

Environmental protection to IP66

•t

Ethernet protocol

SLM variants

Minimum distances are quoted to the point
at which an object can first be detected.
