The Leuze RSL 400 safety laser scanner has been recognised by end-users and experts as an innovative product that has set new safety standards. The product was recently voted the winner in the “Safe Automation” category of the most important readers’ choice award in the automation world — the GIT Award.

The Leuze RSL scanner succeeded in convincing both the readers of the magazines “GIT_ Sicherheit”, “GIT Security”, “messtec drives Automation” and the online community of the industry platform www.PRO-4-PRO.com that it was worthy of winning the GIT Security Award 2016.

This award follows its previous accolade from the publishing house “Huber Verlag für Neue Medien GmbH” when an independent jury comprising industry experts, professors and specialist journalists awarded the Leuze RSL 400 the title “BEST OF INDUSTRY PRIZE 2016”.

It is not often that users and experts agree with one another about new products, but the recent recognition of the Leuze RSL 400 safety laser scanner underscores that this high quality safety scanner met both the innovation criteria of the judges as well as the usability requirements of users in the field.

Significantly, the Leuze RSL 400 safety laser scanner has set a new standard in the discipline of safety sensor technology. With its two autonomous protective functions, a scanning angle of 270° and an operating range of 8.25 metres, the device is not only a more powerful alternative to existing standalone systems but can even perform two tasks at the same time. This not only saves space but, in many cases, also makes a second device unnecessary.

In addition, its large scanning angle in combination with its large operating range enables reliable safeguarding, even at corners and edges. Its high resolution capability facilitates a high insensitivity to dust and allows the safety scanner to operate reliably even under harsh ambient conditions.

In spite of its exceptional performance characteristics, the Leuze RSL 400 is simple to use. The ease with which the device can be mounted, aligned and operated is unmatched in this segment, and comes standard with integrated cable management. The detachable scanner unit allows simple device upgrading and easy replacement without electronic and mechanical realignment, readjustment and reconfiguration.
