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.

Subminiature Photoelectric Sensors

Friday, December 16, 2011 by Caryl Clement
Pepperl+Fuchs has expanded its family of ML4.2 Series Subminiature Photoelectric Sensors. A number of new models are available to help maximize machine productivity by delivering faster response times, multibeam redundant detection, independent outputs and zero deadband sensing, among other significant benefits.

ML4.2 miniature sensor Pepperl FuchsTwo precise sensing models are also now available to deliver the sharpest sensing distance cut-off and smallest switching hysteresis on the market for background suppression sensors. The first model is available with a visible red emitter, and senses black and white color extremes within an extremely tight sensing window. A black test object is sensed up to 20 mm from the sensor, a white test object is sensed up to 21 mm away and no targets are detected at or beyond 22 mm. In contrast, a standard version ML4.2 sensor enables background suppression at 25 mm from the sensor. A second model senses black to 40 mm, white to 43 mm and no objects at or beyond 43 mm.

A new ML4.2 series retroreflective sensing model with no sensing deadband is used with a corner-cube reflector and is polarized so that shiny objects will not be erroneously seen as the reflector. An innovative single optical axis design eliminates sensing deadband. A second model also includes an output that monitors signal strength.

Lastly, new ML4.2 series thru-beam sensors deliver maximum signal strength in situations where retroreflective and background suppression models do not have sufficient optical power. They feature an optical alignment aid to indicate marginal signal strength, a status LED to indicate if small objects are not detected at high speeds, and quadruple the speed of previous generation thru-beam sensors. They are ideally suited for applications with sensing distances up to at least 8 meters, and in dirtier environments.

Call Marshall Wolf Automation 800-325-9653 for all of your sensor needs from safety laser scanners to retroflective photoelectric sensors.

Schmersal Light Curtains

Wednesday, October 12, 2011 by Caryl Clement
Because safety light curtains are continuously exposed to the rigors of industrial applications, they must be extra-rugged to resist the bumps and unexpected misfortunes routinely encountered on the factory floor.

Schmersal Light CurtainsA typical light curtain construction is two-piece, extruded aluminum with a lens cover bridging the two ends. This construction is only as strong as the weakest component, the lens. Real world experience tells us that two-piece exterior design structure is susceptible to mechanical damage. For maximum strength, we have designed a seamless, round, one-piece extruded reinforced housing - where the lens plays no part in the protective structural system. This design offers a major protection difference between Schmersal and the competition.

Marshall Wolf Automation offers all types of safety products, from safety relays to laser scanners.   We have technical support on staff to discuss your project and application questions, help you find the right item quickly and ensure it gets to you on time!  Call us today!  800-325-9653

Leuze Electronics HRTR 46B-TEACH

Thursday, June 16, 2011 by Caryl Clement
Leuze Electronics HRTR 46B-TEACHThe new HRTR 46B-TEACH from Leuze Electronics enables configuration and diagnostics directly from the control, thereby saving a lot of time.

The times of long distances between the system control and the sensor are now a thing of the past thanks to the newest IO-Link sensor. Thanks to the possibility of configuring and diagnosing the sensor directly in the system control, not only is the start-up of a system considerably accelerated, but restoring a setting after replacing the sensor is child's play. In addition, these sensors also increase the flexibility of a system, since, for example, formats can be converted quickly and automatically.

Buy one sensor and get the performance of two - that's what we call efficient!

With the new HRTR 46B-TEACH, two sensors are integrated into one housing. With the newly-developed, site-sensitive sensor, the devices return two independent switching signals, depending on the model. This makes it possible to realize complex tasks such as two point regulations with only one sensor.

Marshall Wolf Automation, your authorized Leuze Electronics distributor is the place to shop for all of your sensor needs from safety laser scanners to any Leuze sensors you may need.
