Leuze LiDAR Technology: Compact – Efficient – Versatile
The power of a small yet robust scanner!
With the ROD100, objects can be detected in a two-dimensional plane using a highly compact integrated area scanner. This switching sensor is part of a complete family of LiDAR sensors. It detects one or multiple objects at distances up to 25 meters and is also perfectly suitable as collision protection, for example on (overhead) cranes. The sensor performs reliably whether it is used in a warm factory hall or in a deep-freeze environment.
The ROD family now consists of 3 variants:
- ROD 100 with 16 programmable field sets (triples) to reliably detect different object sizes, or to monitor all travel directions of driverless vehicles (e.g. AGVs)
- ROD 300, the measuring variant, specially developed for precise contour detection (e.g. pallets)
- ROD 500, which generates the most accurate measurement values, used among others for navigation information of AGVs or AMRs (automated guided vehicles / autonomous mobile robots) and for other applications requiring the highest precision.
Scanners have become indispensable in many automation processes. The advantages of stable detection through multiple scans on a single object, or the two-dimensional “view” with infrared light, provide greater convenience and reliability in industrial environments.
The ROD100 offers great flexibility in configuration, with software available free of charge. Users gain instant insight into the status of the sensor. The dimensions of up to 16 field sets (three fields per set) can be configured, and functionality can be easily adjusted to specific needs, such as project name or assignment of inputs and outputs. The display clearly indicates the zone in which an object is detected and also shows contamination warnings.
With an opening angle of 275˚ and a speed of 80 Hz, this results in an angular resolution of 0.2˚: one of the best in its class.

Leuze - Give me a tough questionRead moreIn industrial automation, sensors are the eyes and ears of the machine or plant. By far the most commonly used binary switching sensors are inductive and optical. Inductive sensors are well suited to technical applications that require metal detection, such as monitoring start or end positions, valve position or speed controls. Optical sensors, however, have a much wider range of applications.

-
Van Meer - Quick Connection for Energy StorageRead moreDrive specialist Van Meer developed an energy storage system for heavy-duty drives and designed a custom battery system for it. For the connectors in the battery system’s cabinet, their regular supplier itsme recommended omni-brand partner Phoenix Contact. Excellent connectors — only the frame didn’t fit. Phoenix Contact quickly developed a customer-specific connector design. itsme now supplies Van Meer with complete connector sets, including the custom plug.

Avebe - A Good Night’s Sleep Thanks to FactoryScanRead moreCompanies often have no clear idea of the installed base of industrial automation in their factories and warehouses. With FactoryScan, itsme can provide an overview of the current status of automation components such as PLCs. Potato processor Royal Avebe uses the results to update their component stock and assess future availability. The scan is intended to reduce the number of hardware-related disruptions Process Control Engineer Johan Wierenga has to deal with. It also helps him sleep better, knowing the stock is up to date.

Elektro VV - The right expertise in the right placeRead moreElektro VV, based in the Belgian province of Antwerp, carries out general electrical work and solar panel installations for both companies and private individuals. For complex projects, the company calls on Breemes, which brings expertise such as low-voltage studies. “The challenge is to design a panel that can be built quickly and efficiently, and is future-proof.”
-
OI - Warm relationship with supplierRead moreThe O-I glass factory in Leerdam produces 3.5 million beer bottles every day. The challenge of keeping production running 24/7 is tackled together with trusted supplier itsme. They ensure that technicians never run out of stock during maintenance and that critical components like cables and sensors are heat-resistant. This makes life much more relaxed for supervisor Patrick Maduro and his team in the electrical engineering department.
