Description Description Technical overview Designation Type Part No. rotoScan ROD4plus without heater 501 06481 with integrated heating, rotoScan ROD4-08plus 501 06480 dust-insensitive version Table 3.1: Device types The ROD4…plus is an optical, two-dimensional measuring distance sensor. It could also be referred to as an optical, area radar unit.
The ROD4…plus can detect objects with diameters greater than 20mm at a distance of up to 4.0m, even if the surface of the given object is dark. Larger objects are detected in the far detection field at a distance of up to 50m. Leuze electronic rotoScan ROD4...
One scan over the working range returns 529 measurement values (from angle -5.04° to angle +185.04° with 0.36° angular resolution). Thus, each individual measurement value corresponds to an angular segment of 0.36°. The measurement values are sequentially numbered from segment 0 (-5.04°) to segment 528 (+185.04°), see figure 3.2. rotoScan ROD4... Leuze electronic...
