Leuze electronic demonstrated its safety expertise at the LogiMAT 2019 At the LogiMAT 2019, the sensor automated guided vehicles (AGVs). A wide transport of materials and goods. With specialist Leuze electronic presented variety of sensors for guarding AGVs were its edge detection and control signal its industry-specific knowledge in showcased on a live object: transmission to the control, the trace can intralogistics and its expertise in Safety@ work. Over 55 years of experience in this particular industrial field have made the sensor people experts in intelligent, cost-efficient sensor solutions for use in conveyor and storage systems. At the LogiMAT, Leuze electronic presented its RSL 400 navigation system – a safe scanner which combines safety be guided optically, which means that driving can be automated in the simplest of ways. technology with qualitatively superior Its compact design and its low minimum measurement value output in a single distance to the ground of 10 mm means device, thereby ensuring reliable AGV it can be integrated even into flat Together with its customers, the optical guarding and navigation at the same vehicles. Models with different detection sensor manufacturer from Owen/Teck time. Even when using multiple vehicles, widths and response times cover a wide develops specialized, cost-efficient these can be controlled collision-free and range of possible applications – also solutions that are tailored to the routes easily adapted. This makes the on tight curves and at high speeds, individual needs of the customer. production system very flexible. thereby enabling speedy and reliable The focus of the company's trade fair In addition, the OGS 600 enables flexible appearance this year was on effective optical guidance. In production and and safe sensor solutions for continuous storage areas, the new sensor enables conveyors, high-bay storage devices and cost-efficient vehicle automation for the 24 FDPP - www.fdpp.co.uk object detection even under difficult conditions. This guarantees a seamless production process – man and machine are protected.
