Leuze presents positioning sensor solutions at Automate 2023

23 May 2023

Leuze Electronics is bringing switching and measuring sensors, identification systems, and data transmission and image processing solutions for industrial automation to Automate 2023.

The company recently unveiled the AMS 100i as one of the smallest laser positioning systems available on the market. This perfect solution for tight installations spaces will be on display at booth #2041 during the May 22 through May 25 event in Detroit.

Whether on the stacker crane, automated guided vehicle or lifting system: In automated intralogistics, the sensors used for positioning applications must be able to operate on a small footprint in many cases. TheSource: Leuze ElectronicsSource: Leuze Electronics new AMS 100i from Leuze is up to the task without sacrificing performance. With its small dimensions of 105 mm x 68 mm x 75 mm, it is one of the most compact laser positioning systems on the market. This makes it the perfect solution for use in tight spaces. The sensor works with very high accuracy: With the AMS 100i, users are able to position with millimeter accuracy for up to 120 m.

The AMS 100i also features a minimum blind zone of only 100 mm, enabling positioning applications right up to the sensor and efficient use of available space.

The modular laser positioning system is also available in the AMS 300i version. This device model offers an operating range of up to 300 m, and both variants meet the high requirements of degree of protection IP65. Optionally, the AMS 100i and the AMS 300i are also available with integrated device and window heating. With this variant, the sensors can be used for low-temperature applications down to -30° C (without heating down to -5° C). In hot ambient conditions, the AMS 100i is designed for temperatures of up to 60° C.
