Fit-for-purpose optical sensing solutions
The ability to accurately measure over both short and long distances
is critical in sensing applications. Leuze has leveraged technology
to enable customers to achieve this no matter the parameters.Two
types of Leuze Optical Distance Sensors are available – one using
laser or LED light and the other using ultrasonic technology.
Compact sensor Leuze ODSL 8, is in a compact metal housing and
supplies reflection-independent distance information.
The Leuze PDSL 9 sensor enables accurate measurement even
under difficult conditions including glossy objects. Its integrated
display shows the measurement values and facilitates easy adjust-
ment of the sensor.This sensor offers greater flexibility as it can be
used in combination with digital interfaces.
Suitable for large measuring distances, from 60 mm to 25 000
mm, the Leuze ODS 96B optical distance sensor is extremely robust.
Adjustment and configuration is simple done using its integral key
pad.The sensor can operate in fast, standard or precision mode.
Achieving maximum precision at long distances can be done
using the Leuze ODSL 30 sensor which has a measurement range
up to 30 metres, and in applications with bright objects as far as 65
metres away.With a sensing resolution of 1 mm, the unit is capable
of highly accurate measurements over the complete range.
Ultrasonic technology is most advantageous where there is
limited light and using Leuze Ultrasonic Distance Sensors it is
possible to reliably detect even partially or completely transparent
objects. Measurements can also be done in dusty, hazy or humid
environments.
The Leuze 418 Series sensor is best for short range applications
and its small cylindrical metal housing makes it suitable for use in
adverse conditions. It is possible to synchronise up to 10 sensors on
one cable. More compact in design, the Leuze 430 Series sensors is
ideal for detecting levels in liquids and bulk material. High accuracy
is possible through temperature compensation. Leuze Optical Dis-
tance Sensors are available from
Countapulse Controls
, the official
distributor for these German-engineered sensors.
