Leuze presents the smallest safety laser scanner on the market

The smallest safety laser scanner: RSL 200
The RSL 200 safety laser scanners are optimized for minimal space requirements. At just 80 mm high, with a footprint of 80 x 86 mm, they offer an operating range of 3.0 m and a 275° scanning angle. This makes them particularly suitable for use on AGVs and AMRs, but also for area safeguarding and restart protection for compact machines. Up to 32 protective field sets allow adaptation to the environment, load and speed.
Rotating connections for perfect integration
With its rotating connections, the RSL 200 provides maximum flexibility for integration. Cables can thus be routed optimally, and the required installation space is minimized. The RSL 200 is connected via a standard M12 connector with 8 pins or 12 pins depending on the device’s respective function.
Optimized for minimal space requirements
At 80 mm high with an 80 x 86 mm base area, the small dimensions of the RSL 200 make it ideal for safeguarding compact vehicles. The devices have a scanning angle of 275° and an operating range of 3 m. The mounting bracket allows the RSL 200 to be aligned horizontally and vertically. Here, too, the design is optimized for minimal space requirements.
Furthermore, if servicing is required, the devices can be swapped out easily with just two screws without needing to be realigned.
Flexible safeguarding
Up to 96 configurable fields enable flexible adaptation to the speed, direction of travel and vehicle load. Switchover takes place in 3-field sets (triples), which each consist of one protective field and two warning fields. Up to 32 adapted configurations are therefore available.
Three communication options
All RSL 200 scanners have USB and Bluetooth interfaces for configuration and diagnosis. In addition, thanks to their integrated Ethernet TCP/IP interface, the RSL 230 / 235 models are already network-capable, e.g. for the transmission of measurement data for navigating AGVs and AMRs or for diagnosis via central access points.

Quick diagnosis with mobile app
The RSL 200 mobile app enables easy access to status information and diagnostic data via Bluetooth — even if access to the device is limited. It allows important, detailed information to be collected remotely without having to interrupt the protective field. All messages are displayed in plain text and, if necessary, can also be sent directly to the Leuze service center.
The app can be used on smartphones and tablets with the Android or iOS operating system.
High availability thanks to removable configuration memory
The RSL 200 models have a removable configuration memory. If the device needs to be serviced, the device configuration can thus be quickly and easily transferred to a new device. Furthermore, if servicing is required, the devices can be swapped out easily with just two screws without needing to be realigned.
Mobile applications: AGV and AMR safeguarding and navigation
Safeguarding Compact Vehicles with simple transportation paths
Requirement:
The compact towing vehicle moves in one direction — e.g. by means of optical guidance. The transportation path of the vehicle must be safeguarded.
Solution:
The RSL 220 safeguards the transportation path of the vehicle. Eight switchable sets of protective and warning fields enable easy adaptation in the case of curved paths and different speeds.
AGV / AMR navigation for small loads
Requirement:
On compact vehicles, the safety laser scanner must provide not only the safety function but also measurement data for natural navigation.
Solution:
Measuring just 80 x 80 x 86 mm, the RSL 200 combines safety technology and measurement value output in one device. It is therefore particularly suitable for use on compact vehicles where the compact design of the scanner is a key factor. The devices have operating ranges of 3 m for the protective field and 25 m for the measurement data.
Stationary applications: Area guarding at machines and systems
Area guarding
Requirement:
The danger zone of the machine or system is to be safeguarded against access by persons. At the same time, the presence of persons is to be monitored to enable the machine or system to restart automatically when the zone has been vacated. The contour of the monitored area is to be adapted to the contour of the machine.
Solution:
The RSL 200 can detect when people access and are present in the monitored zone and thus also makes automatic restart possible. The configurable protective field can be easily adjusted to the size of the zone to be safeguarded, even “around corners” or on two sides of one machine thanks to the scanning angle of 275°.
