With the new ODS 110/HT 110 and HRT 25B L distance sensors, Leuze electronic is expanding its series of distance sensors and offers its customers a large selection of different designs with long operating ranges and several switching points available. Due to their compact housing size and with an operating range of up to 5 meters, they are particularly suited for use in situations with limited installation space in pallet warehouses and for applications in the field of automated material flow for which at least two different switching points are required. In addition to the multi-depth compartment occupation check, these include for example push-through or collision protection in shuttle applications. The new distance sensors are characterized by a high repeatability of 3 mm and extremely high color and surface independence ensuring fine positioning as well as easy commissioning. Models with an analog output and IO-Link are also available.
