The new series 3B, 25B and 46B sensor generation from Leuze electronic combines pioneering electronic technological development with new production processes, maximum functional reliability and convenient handling – and all at an optimum cost-to-performance ratio. New throughbeam photoelectric sensors and retro-reflective light scanners with fading technology have now been added to these product series.

The new-generation optoelectronic sensors from Leuze electronic are characterized by outstanding performance diversity from what is practically a “single mould”. Providing extreme seal tightness (IP 67 and IP 69K plus Ecolab certification) as well as outstanding mechanical stability, all the products of the 3B, 25B and 46B series stand for exceptional durability under the toughest environmental conditions. Alongside improved performance reserves for reliable object detection even in dusty or highly contaminated environments and with high adjustment tolerance levels, technologies such as active ambient light suppression (A2LS) or “brightVision” to substantially simplify handling and commissioning are characteristic features of this product range. Benefits also include the reliable and ergonomic quick-action connection system Ultra-Lock. Also striking is their ability to detect coloured structured, very dark or shiny objects such as stretch or shrink wrapped items. The sensors belonging to this series operate reliably over a wide temperature range (-30C to +60C), which even permits their use in deep-freeze warehouses.

New to the 3B, 25B and 46B sensor generation are throughbeam photoelectric sensors with visible red light. With their high switching frequency, they permit the detection of fast-moving objects. A typical feature of these sensor series is a warning output guaranteeing optimum system availability. Here, Leuze has optimized the light beam geometry for simple alignment and to ensure maximum durability in case of machine vibrations coupled with long ranges. Another new feature is an innovative optical feedback system which permits fast and precise sensor alignment even over long distances. Like the throughbeam photoelectric sensors, the new retro-reflective light scanners are available with fading (RTF) in the B platform. Equipped with fading capability, these sensors are ideally tailored for object detection on conveyor lines, where they offer an outstanding cost-to-performance ratio.
