Leuze Enhances Functionality for Safety Light Beam Devices

Designed for efficiency, the product enhancements for the Leuze Electronics MLD Series  now has easy integrated laser alignment and flexible mounting.

OSSD Output indication gives a new multi-colored status indicator ring that is a practical aid for daily operation, displaying the OSSD state as well as the muting state that can be seen over long distances which is a clear advantage for smooth operation.   The combination of both these features, with the OSSD message output, direct and simple diagnosis is made possible both visually as well as via the downstream PLC.

Range reduction means the the user can switch the operating range and reduce it from 50m range to 20m.  This function is important if there is a potential of optical cross talk between adjacent protective fields, i.e. the transmitter of one system influences the receiver of an adjacent system.

Leuze USA has developed a reputation for providing high-technology value added products and outstanding customer support as a solution provider for a wide range of industries. Main applications are industrial automation, material handling, packaging, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and printing industries.

Inductive sensors for food and beverage packaging applications!

Hygienic position feedback at moulding, filling and sealing machines; Inductive sensor series IFBR with mounting concept in hygienic design!
 

  • Inductive sensors with mounting concept in hygienic design – EHEDG- and FDA-compliant
  • Extended product service life even at regular cleaning cycles and frequent temperature changes thanks to proTect+
  • No restriction to cleaning agents and disinfectants – Ecolabapproved
  • Extremely waterproof (IP 68/IP 69K) and resistant against high-pressure cleaning
  • Advanced potential applications due to extended switching distance and temperature range from -40°C to +100°C (short-term)

Perfect for food and beverage packaging applications, Baumer Electric Sensors work!  The new sensors with their plane, groove-free V4A stainless steel housings as well as the mounting accessories are compliant with hygienic standards, Ecolab-approved, and the materials are FDA-compliant. Along with the range of EHEDG-certified reflectors and Ecolab-approved cables with protection class IP 69K, Baumer offers a complete solution for position detection in the food zone.

For applications in the splash zone Baumer offers adequate sensors with washdown design. These sensors are as resistant against detergents and high-pressure splash water as those in hygienic design, but they are mounted conventionally.

With the specifically developed impermeability concept proTect+ Baumer guarantees a higher sensor performance and life-time. For this purpose the sensors are exposed to continuously changing temperature cycles in addition to the IP 68 and IP 69K impermeability tests.

Inductive sensors have a particularly large operating temperature range from -40 to +80 °C. This offers versatile fields of application from the processing of frozen products to areas with CIP processes.
