Leuze - Give me a tough question!
In 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.
The applications are sometimes easy to imagine, such as detecting closed boxes on a conveyor belt under standard conditions, but can also certainly be challenging. Consider, for example, environments with extremely high hygiene requirements or intensive cleaning, extremely dusty conditions, or even explosion hazards. Leuze is known for its ability to take on challenges where others stop. So feel free to ask Leuze a difficult question!
Leuze light curtains have been used for years for optical machine guards, but they also offer explosion-proof (ATEX) versions and special models for hygienic environments with an IP67/IP69K rating. Moreover, smart mounting columns are available with an integrated spirit level and bottom mount for easy installation. With the option for integrated laser alignment, you quickly save on costs. Moreover, several sets of walk-in guards are available complete with muting arms, sensors and mounting both with and without mounting columns.
In addition to pallet detection on, for example, a film wrapping machine, we offer a wide range of special sensors with precise background suppression. Are you bothered by reflective safety vests in the background? Solved! Or are you working in an extremely dusty environment? That's no problem either! Sensors that switch on vapour or condensation right in front of the sensor, or water droplets on the window? Solved! Difficult to see between the rollers of the roller conveyor with a narrow spotlight? No problem! Whether you need red light, infrared LED or laser: Leuze Series HT46C sensors provide the solution.
