Leuze
Put in the right light
With the 'KRT 3C' contrast sensor, Leuze is launching the company's smallest contrast sensor to date for the packaging industry.
According to Leuze, the contrast sensor detects even slight differences in contrast, shiny surfaces or highly reflective materials reliably and accurately. This is possible thanks to multicolor functionality: red, green and blue light as well as white and laser red light do not allow any object or print mark to pass unnoticed. The sensor detects contrasts with a response time of 50 µs (laser: 125 µs) and minimal signal jitter. With its dimensions of 11 mm x 32 mm x 17 mm, the sensor is designed for tight installation situations. Users can easily set up the sensor via the integrated IO-Link interface. Changes when changing the format of the products can also be made quickly. The housing complies with protection classes IP67 and IP69K. The contrast sensor is also ECOLAB-certified and can withstand aggressive cleaning agents.
