Product Description

A sensor alone does not make a safe workplace

Not until the safety sensors are efficiently and reliably integrated in the machine safety circuit can the topic of safety at work be implemented in such a way that the sensors do not interfere with the machine processes and yet still offer the best-possible protection. Our Safety Relays and AS-Interface solutions open all possibilities to you her

With a width of just 17.5 mm (MSI-RM2) and 22.5 mm (MSI-SR4, MSI-2H), these Safety Relays are characterized by very narrow housings. As a result, you can realize the one- or two-channel connection of safety-related sensors in a space-saving and simple manner over up to three switch-off circuits for many applications.

Everything clear even with poor visibility

Compared to conventional identification systems, RFID technology has one decisive advantage: no direct “visible contact” is necessary between the read/write unit and the transponder to read out information. An RFID system consists of a read/write unit, a transponder and the associated software. Information from the transponder is detected by means of electromagnetic waves. As a result, these systems can be used practically and reliably under even the most adverse conditions.

One of the big advantages of this technology becomes clear with stationary systems for RFID identification: in order to detect objects, it is enough to simply be “near” the reader. As a result, readers can be integrated at nearly any location in the system. In the area of RFID, Leuze electronic offers technical solutions that are oriented towards practical use. Their maximum connectivity with all common interface and fieldbus systems simplifies integration in existing systems.

RFID is also ideally suited for mobile use. One favorite area of application is, for example, in freight traffic at logistics hubs. But mobile devices are often advantageous in warehousing as well and guarantee smooth and fast identification. Moreover, our RFID solutions also read bar codes and 2D-codes.

The areas of application for RFID are as broad as the requirements placed on transponders. Leuze electronic offers an extensive and high-quality product segment for all conceivable applications. It includes transponders for fault-free use on metal, high-temperature transponders, self-adhesive SmartLabels or chip cards.

Product Description

Would you like another dimension with that?

Light section sensors are well suited for applications in which objects have to be detected using their 3 dimensional form. They measure height profiles along a projected laser line.With these sensors, objects with high resolution can be detected quickly and reliably in 3D. The object is illuminated solely by the laser measurement beam integrated in the sensor.

The profile camera is used wherever height profiles need to be determined for moving or static objects. An additional encoder port supports the generation of calibrated 3D data. This opens numerous application possibilities, such as robot guidance as well as contour/volume measurements.

Product Description

Fork is just another word for exact

The forked shape offers measurement resolutions as great as 0.014 mm with high reproducibility without time-consuming alignment. An infrared light-band illuminates a line-scan camera (CCD line) and returns analog or digital output signals depending on the illuminated pixels and configuration.

With mouth widths of 27 or 100 mm, this forked photoelectric sensor delivers accurate measurement results over a 25 mm long measurement range thanks to its CCD line. Depending on the configuration, it is possible to measure transparent edges, the diameters of wires, threads and much more.

Product Description

Always know where you are

Particularly with moving system parts that need to automatically work together, the positioning of parts or work pieces with millimeter accuracy is of great importance. We offer devices here with two operating principles. One is a laser distance measurement device that measures absolute distances; the other is a bar code positioning system or an incremental device that measures movements along a reference tape.

The optical laser distance sensor is used everywhere that position data of moving system parts need to be calculated. With great accuracy and speed, the AMS300 i makes distance data available for dynamic control via a unique selection of industrial Ethernet and renowned fieldbus interfaces. Distances of up to 300 m are calculated through the use of state-of-the art signal processors in intervals on the order of ms.

Everything for safety

Whether individual devices or optimally matched sets: in our extensive line of safety sensors, you will always find a suitable and efficient safety solution for point-of-operation, danger-zone and access guarding. All devices satisfy the applicable legal regulations and standards.

Reliable and interference-immune sensor safety technology ensures high system availability and productivity. Thus, in addition to the safety standards, high industrial requirements also played a key role in the development of all Safety Light Curtains. Wherever man and machine work “hand in hand”, Safety Light Curtains can be used vertically as hand and finger protection, as access guarding as well as horizontally as area protection. With respect to integration capability, availability and cost effectiveness, they meet the highest requirements.

Multiple Light Beam Safety Devices with muting function ensure constant personnel protection (access guarding) with unobstructed material infeed, e.g., in conveyor systems. They thereby help to ensure that both the productivity requirements as well as the safety requirements are met for automated production systems. Options such as the integrated Laser Alignment Aid, an integrated muting indicator and the patented swivel mount for easy fastening and alignment round out the program.

Product Description

From extremely economical to extremely tough: it’s all there

Safety Switches and magnetically coded safety systems can be used to monitor movable guards such as protective doors, sliding grids or flaps, for example in the food, pharmaceutical or timber industries. Opening the protective devices triggers an E-STOP command. Safety Locking Devices keep the protective doors locked, thereby preventing the inadmissible access of people until the guarded machine no longer poses a danger. The access to the danger zone is only released by an electric signal when either the dangerous movement has stopped (personnel protection) or an uninterruptible work process has been finished (machine protection).

For doors, flaps and covers that must remain closed during the operation of machines, Safety Switches for position monitoring and for the protection of personnel and systems are required. They are predestined for guarding machines and systems in which process or production interruptions are, in principle, possible or may be necessary. In addition to standard designs for universal use, Safety Hinge Switches and Safety Position Switches are available as alternatives to hinge switches on flaps.

Safety Locking Devices keep protective doors securely locked and thereby prevent the inadmissible access of people until the guarded machine no longer poses a danger. Not until there is no longer a danger to the machine or to the workers is access released by an electric signal. The Safety Locking Devices thereby make an important contribution to personnel protection and machine protection. With their robust design, all Leuze electronic Safety Switches and Locking Devices are designed for rough industrial applications.

Always good when things get colorful

This sensor type detects colors and compares them to a stored reference value. They are the right solution whenever the color of an object or marking can serve as a sorting or inspection criteria. Depending on the configuration and specified tolerance values of the system, the result is output as a switching signal.

Thanks to extensive configuration options and 1 or 4 color channels with individually adjustable color tolerance, this series can be used for fast processes with short response times.

If only one color channel is needed, this compact design is both a simple as well as a reliable solution.

This series with 3 color channels and the scan function for color gradients can be used flexibly in many areas of applications.

Product Description

The contrast makes the difference

This sensor type can use various light sources – such as white light, laser-generated red light or RGB light – to very precisely detect and compare contrasts and report the results to the process with minimal signal jitter. Through the automatic selection of the right transmitter colors, various color or gray value combinations can be reliably detected.

Contrast scanners distinguish between grayscale values, enabling them to detect minimal contrasts. As a result, a check can be performed for the presence of text or imprints or so-called marks detected.

Product Description

Printing and further processing under control

Devices for ensuring system availability and the corresponding logistics in the graphics industry have been among our core competencies for decades. Not least of all because we have a great deal of practical experience and have application know-how from this business sector that has been collected over a decade.

The double sheet monitoring devices  reliably prevent multi-layer sheets from being drawn in. As a result, scrap and damage are reliably avoided with machines that process stacks of paper and cardboard.
The systems operate on the basis of various physical principles and are thus able to cover nearly the entire range of applications.

The systems for splice inspection and for multiple track label inspection mainly detect splices in roll machines or labels in further processing, and do so independently of the surface color and material properties.

Product Description

I see what you don’t see

This sensor detects both visible as well as invisible luminescent markings. It sends the result as switching output or analog value and is used primarily for sorting and inspection tasks in areas in which other detection methods fail to supply reliable results or where the markings should not or must not be visible.

With various light spot profiles, filters, transmitter variants and accessories, this compact design includes everything needed for detecting luminescent objects.

Product Description

The all-rounders among the sensors

Ultrasonic sensors are used whenever optical systems reach their limits. Hence, partially and fully transparent or extremely dark objects can be detected just as easily as objects with reflecting surfaces or objects in dusty, vaporous or humid environments.

This ultrasonic sensor features a high sound pressure and is thus suitable even for air transport systems.

From narrow to wide, this diffuse reflection ultrasonic scanner offers three different opening angles and sound lobes.

The cylindrical M12 design with two different opening angles ensures high flexibility during installation and use.

Short design, teachable and up to two independent switching outputs are the key features of this series. Also optionally available with angled head, which enables a sound outlet 90 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the M18 sensor.

Whenever large ranges are needed, the M30 sensors from the 430 series are the right choice. Two separate switching outputs can be set independently by means of potentiometer or PC software. A total of ten of these sensors can be easily synchronized with a cable.
