Leuze Electronics Bar Code Readers

Friday, February 3, 2012 by Caryl Clement
The modular design of Leuze Electronics BCL300i  barcode reader enables users to select the features that they value, giving a uniquely cost effective and flexible unit. The BCL300i also offers integrated fieldbus connectivity, barcode reconstruction and high-quality optics.

The compact, modular BCL300i barcode reader from Leuze offers a unique combination of cost effectiveness and functionality. This is because the modular concept enables the customer to define the high specification unit to optimally match their application!

For example in a material handling application, its compact design means it can be placed close beside a conveyor, while the choice of four optional heated optics (High, Medium, Low and Ultra-Low-Density) with a large depth of field and large range of reading angles, guarantee reliable detection especially in difficult environments like wide conveyors.

Marshall Wolf Automation can handle all your Leuze sensor needs, including safety laser scanners and the Line Range Laser Scanner for Presence Detection Leuze LRS Series .  Call us today: 800-325-9653

Leuze Light Scanner

Friday, February 3, 2012 by Caryl Clement
Leuze HRTR25BLeuze sensors include the HRTR 25B light scanner which enables reliable detection of objects with glossy surfaces by means of its focused light spot. Exact edge detection and positioning are possible on glossy, perforated metallic surfaces as well as on rack bars and stands using this sensor.  In the same series, the Leuze HRTR 25B XL scanner is ideal for positioning tasks using its large light spot. The larger light spot also makes this sensor ideally suited for the detection of containers which may not be completely closed.

Reflection light scanners with background suppression incorporated in the Leuze HRTR 25B sensors facilitate a scanning range of up to 1 meter. With a large adjustment range starting at 50 mm, these sensors offer a high level of application flexibility, an advantage for many users as it is not necessary to stock a large number of sensor variants.

The devices are compact and facilitate exact switching behavior with reliable object detection due to the minimal black/white difference.  Safety laser scanners are another product offered by Leuze and Marshall Wolf Automation.

Call us today for personalized, helpful customer service and on-staff tech support.  We can also help with your application questions.  800-325-9653.

Can your Vision System See in the Dark?

Friday, January 13, 2012 by Caryl Clement
Leuze Electronics innovative Line Range Sensors use a laser line equivalent to a cascade of 376 sensors to detect presence and shape.

LRS36 Line Range Sensor features:

 * Detection of several objects with one sensor
 * Detection of objects with undefined position and orientation
 * Detection of objects with predefined width and height
 * Detection of presence or absence of any components

LRS Vision SensorLRS36 Line Range Sensors can be used for tote box filling and overfill detection, or presence checking of the correct number of products on a conveyor, or machine indeed.

The sensors which are programmed on a PC, use Boolean logic to monitor various aspects to decide which of four 24v outputs to switch – The sensor can be demonstrated and used within the first 30 minutes of coming out of the box, making it ideal for machine builders and end-user applications.

Leuze Electronics photo sensor

Monday, November 14, 2011 by Caryl Clement
Leuze Electronic's new HRTR 46B-TEACH photo sensor is in fact two sensors integrated into one housing. This enables it to return two independent switching signals, making it possible to achieve complex tasks such as detecting two location points in for example a storage rack. Doing this with only one sensor instead of two saves cost, space and simplifies installation.

The sensor's scanning range is adjusted by an innovative 'site-sensitive' detection method using a custom semiconductor developed by Leuze electronic. This design means that there are no moving parts within the sensor to made the range adjustments.

The functions of a photosensitive receiver structure and the logical processing are combined within this single semiconductor chip.

Marshall Wolf Automation is your source for all Leuze Sensors.  With technical support on staff, we can also assist you with your application questions!

EOS-Array - Expandable Photovoltaic Monitoring Solutions

Monday, June 20, 2011 by Caryl Clement
Eos ArrayThe Eos-Array is an expandable combination of modules which provides complete control of a photovoltaic plant. The core unit is the VMU-M which performs local bus management of both measuring units, the VMU-Sand the VMU-P and the VMU-O I/O unit. The VMU-M assigns the local unit address automatically and gathers the local measurements coming from VMU-S and VMU-P measuring units. The VMU-M can provide, via the VMU-O modules, two relay outputs to manage alarms and/or external loads (such as a lighting system,a PV washing system, etc.) and two PV panel temperature inputs. The VMU-S is the DC power measuring unit (generated by PV panel), features a built-in fuse holder. The VMU-P collects relevant environmental data (through external sensors) such as wind speed, air temperature and sun irradiation. The Eos-ArraySoft is freeware software, which downloads the Eos-Array system memory to the PC, for improved PV plant efficiency and analysis.

This, along with the full-range of Carlo Gavazzi sensors, is just some of what you can find at www.wolfautomation.com.  We are an authorized industrial automation distributor for all of the lines that we carry, so whether you are looking for Lenze Drives or Leuze Sensors, Marshall Wolf Automation is the place to go.
