New standard for compact positioning system

Leuze says its AMS 100i is one of the smallest laser positioning systems available on the market and this makes it the perfect solution for tight installation spaces.

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. Leuze says the new AMS 100i masters this challenge without sacrificing performance. With its small dimensions of 105 x 68 X 75 mm, it is one of the most compact laser positioning systems on the market.

The sensor works with very high accuracy: With the AMS 100i, users are able to position with millimetre accuracy for up to 120 metres.

Positioning right up to the sensor

The Sensor People have developed the AMS 100i with a minimum blind zone of only 100 mm. This enables positioning applications right up to the sensor. The available space is used efficiently. Modular assembly options and easy alignment facilitate a flexible and quick installation.

Reliable in heat and icy cold

The modular laser positioning system is also available in the AMS 300i version. This device model offers an operating range of up to 300 metres. 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.
