Leuze: Safety Laser Scanner RSL 200
Safety laser scanners are irreplaceable for industrial applications, both stationary (point of operation guarding or area guarding) and for mobile applications such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs). In AGVs in particular, there is a clear trend towards miniaturization, which also limits the installation space for the sensors.
With the RSL 200, Leuze presents the smallest safety scanner on the market with ultra-compact dimensions of 80 x 80 x 86 mm. The space-saving mounting bracket for easy alignment of the RSL and rotatable connectors for M12 standard cables offer design engineers maximum freedom for integration in the tightest of spaces.
Miniaturization also requires rethinking of diagnosis. Instead of a space-consuming display that is often difficult to read, the new RSL 200 app makes everyday life easier for the maintenance engineer or system operator in conbination with a standard mobile device for fast diagnosis with comprehensive information via Bluetooth.
Despite consistent miniaturization, no compromises were made in the performance of the RSL 200. It is approved for the highest achievable performance level for scanners, PL d, and with a scanning angle of 275° at 3 m protective field and 50 or 70 mm resolution, it offers all options for safeguarding compact machines and AGVs. Field triples, consisting of one protective and two warning fields, can be switched in up to 32 configurations to adapt the RSL to changing conditions. The RSL provides measurement data for the navigation of AGVs.
Special attention was paid to the configuration and diagnostic options: parameterization can be carried out via Bluetooth, USB or Ethernet TCP/IP using the Leuze Sensorstudio software, which can also be used for detailed diagnostics. Service has also been taken into consideration: the RSL 200 has an exchangeable configuration memory for transferring to the new device so that the device can be replaced quickly, even without specialist knowledge.
