Compact Yet Precise

Modern positioning applications are becoming increasingly demanding as warehouses, AGVs, and automated vehicles grow more compact and flexible. The AMS 100i from Leuze is designed for these evolving requirements, providing reliable positioning up to 120 m within extremely limited installation spaces. Compared to the AMS 300i, it is optimized for shorter operating ranges while maintaining the same high positioning performance.

With dimensions of only 105 × 68 × 75 mm and a dead zone of just 100 mm, the sensor offers exceptional flexibility for compact machines and vehicles. Flat housing surfaces without protruding contours simplify integration even in space-constrained applications.

Built for Intralogistics

This laser positioning system is ideal for:

• stacker cranes,
• AGVs,
• shuttle systems, and
• lift applications.

Its modular mechanical design allows simple mounting and alignment, while interference-free operation next to optical data transceivers supports reliable performance in modern warehouse systems.

Fast Commissioning and Reliable Operation

For fast commissioning and diagnostics, the AMS 100i includes:

• PROFINET communication interface,
• integrated web server,
• flexible installation options,
• easy alignment and setup.

These features help simplify integration into existing automation architectures while reducing commissioning time and overall system complexity.

Reliable High-Speed Positioning

In high-bay warehouse applications, reliable positioning is essential for efficient storage and retrieval processes. The AMS 100i determines the position of stacker cranes optically, eliminating the need for wear-prone mechanical distance sensors.

The system supports positioning ranges up to 120 m, traverse speeds up to 10 m/s, and positioning accuracy of ±2 mm.

This combination of speed and precision improves operational reliability and supports efficient material handling in dynamic intralogistics environments. The AMS 100i enables machine builders and operators to implement reliable positioning without compromising valuable installation space.
