Leuze 10 Series for high tolerances

August 2016 Sensors & Transducers

Engineered with a high tolerance to differing materials, the Leuze 10 Series optical sensors are able to detect objects and measure distances with an accuracy of 30 mm. These high performance sensors have an operating range of up to eight metres.

The high tolerance of the sensors further extends to the angle of incidence, the colour, surface structure and brightness of reflective material. This means that the sensor is capable of detecting different materials, such as wood or matt as well as glossy metal, and this is possible even under varying conditions.

The Leuze 10 Series is also suitable for sensing applications where deep black materials are found, or where objects are not ideally aligned or moving rapidly.

Ease of use is facilitated through the highly visible status indicators on the devices as well as the large control buttons. The LED display has been designed to facilitate systematic commissioning and diagnosis at the press of a button.

The compact housing, with integrated recesses for M4 screws or nuts, means installation is possible in applications where space restrictions exist. However, its small size does not impact on the overall performance of the Leuze 10 Series.
