The Leuze RSL 400 safety laser scanner with measurement value output is setting new standards in the reliable navigation of automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

Available from sensor solutions provider Countapulse Controls, the new Leuze RSL 400 safety laser scanner is the result of many years of experience in the development of safety technology.

This compact safety scanner combines safety technology and qualitatively superior measurement value output in a single device. This enables reliable safeguarding and navigation of AGVs. Measurement value output is optimised to navigation software that functions according to the principle of natural navigation with simultaneous localisation and mapping.

Owing to its high angular resolution of 0.1 degrees, the Leuze RSL 400 offers extremely detailed scanning of the environment across the entire measurement range of up to 50 m. This is achieved through a particularly narrow laser spot that maintains its perpendicular shape over the entire scanning angle. The distance values have a high accuracy and are not influenced by reflection of objects.

The additional output of the received signal strength value for each beam allows autonomous detection of reflectors by the navigation software. When beams strike a reflector, the values differ significantly from any other environment, which facilitates reliable detection.

With up to 100 switchable field pairs, the Leuze RSL 400 offers optimum adaptation of the protective fields, even in cases where there are many different movement and loading conditions. Parallel monitoring of multiple protective fields enables safe and reliable reduction of the speed of AGVs.

Countapulse Controls offers industry access to skilled technical personnel that can advise on sensing solutions across a range of applications.
