Leuze ROD 300/500 series of laser scanners

Click2Contact

Leuze is expanding its product portfolio with LiDAR technology with the ROD 300 series of laser scanners designed for efficient contour measurement and ROD 500 for AGV navigation.

Whether on the conveyor belt or automated guided vehicle system, the ROD 300 series can detect contours even during fast production and logistics processes. With high scanning rates and angular resolution, the laser scanners of the ROD 500 series are suited for navigation tasks. Integrated window monitoring, detecting if the optics window becomes dirty, enables predictive maintenance.

The ROD 300/500 series scan at a frequency of up to 80 Hz — moving objects can be 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. Protection class IP 67, aluminium base and built-in laser diode make the laser scanners resistant to external influences. The sensors work in temperature ranges from -30 to +60°C, making them suitable for applications in both the deep-freeze sector and for high-temperature requirements, such as in battery production.

Navigating driverless transport systems (DTS), they create a map of the environment, such as the material storage area. In ongoing logistics operations, a scanner from the ROD 500 series is designed to enable collision-free AGV navigation via natural navigation. Intralogistics, with dimensions of around 80 x 80 x 80 mm, the sensors can be integrated even into the small installation spaces of mobile vehicles.
