Laser distance measurement with 3mm
accuracy
The AMS 200 is the very latest in distance measurement devices to be announced by Leuze Mayser and through the use of laser technology a hitherto unattainable accuracy of +/-3 millimetres is achieved.
The AMS 200 is the very latest in distance measurement devices to be announced by Leuze Mayser and through the use of laser technology a hitherto unattainable accuracy of +/-3 millimetres is achieved over the full measuring distance of 200 metres Optical distance measurement based on the light propagation principle using red light laser is a tried-and-tested method for permanent position sensing of moving plant and machine parts such as rack handling systems, portal crane gantries, travelling trolleys or transfer bridges

Safety beams act on personnel, not products
Safety system offers a simple plug and play concept for connectivity of safety barriers to their associated controls, and beams react only to personnel entering hazardous areas.
Introduction of the new AMS 200 (Absolute Measuring System 200) sets new higher standards as regards positioning control, data transparency, handling and design, bringing improved repeatability and accuracy over longer distances.
The technology that makes the AMS 200 such a precision piece of engineering is contained in a modern housing design that contributes to easier installation, whether new or retrofit.
Much is attributed to the front-mounted display panel which shows actual measuring values, set parameters or warning messages.
And directly alongside the display are four menu selection buttons for greater convenience during initial set-up procedures including precise alignment.
Connectivity is also directly up-front with the AMS 200, the M12 sockets clearly visible for easy access, and only to be expected from a leading edge distance measurement device is supports for various bus interfaces.
Leuze Mayser distance measurement devices have been helping control the precise position of cranes and machinery for many years.
The AMS 200 joins a fully proven range but has the edge when it comes to a need for greater precision over longer distances. Request a free brochure from Leuze Mayser ...
