Clearly measuring contours
Leuze is expanding its product portfolio with LiDAR technology: New ROD 300 series of laser scanners for efficient contour measurement and ROD 500 for precise AGV navigation
(PresseBox) - – Whether on the conveyor belt or on the automated guided vehicle system: When sensors are used to detect contours, precision and attention to detail are what count. Leuze is launching two new laser scanner series that are perfectly suited for this. The devices of the ROD 300 series reliably detect contours even during fast production and logistics processes. Thanks to their high scanning rates and angular resolution, the laser scanners of the ROD 500 series are optimally suited for navigation tasks. Another advantage is the sensors' integrated window monitoring, which detects if the optics window becomes dirty. This enables predictive maintenance and contributes to high system availability.
Perfection in precision
The devices of the ROD 300/500 series scan at a frequency of up to 80 Hz. This means that moving objects are reliably detected and the data quality remains optimal even at high speeds. With their high angular resolution of 0.025° at 10 Hz , the laser scanners of the ROD 500 series determine the contour of the parts even with different high-gloss or matt surfaces. The new laser scanners can be integrated into almost all production processes. Their rugged design also contributes to this: protection class IP 67, high-quality aluminum base and the built-in laser diode make the ROD 300/500 laser scanners resistant to external influences. The sensors also work in temperature ranges from -30 °C to +60 °C. This makes them suitable for applications in both the deep-freeze sector and for high-temperature requirements, such as in battery production.
Natural Navigation made easy
The new laser scanners can also be used for navigating driverless transport systems (DTS). They create a very precise map of the environment, such as the material storage area. In ongoing logistics operations, a scanner from the ROD 500 series enables collision-free AGV navigation via natural navigation. Those responsible for intralogistics also benefit from the compact design of the laser scanners: With dimensions of around 80 x 80 x 80 millimeters, the sensors can be integrated even into the small installation spaces of mobile vehicles.
