Even with dimensions of just 11mm deep, 12mm wide and 30mm high, the 303 series of sensors offers significant improvements in sensing reliability by reducing the effects of spurious light sources.
Even with dimensions of just 11mm deep, 12mm wide and 30mm high, the new 303 series of sensors from Leuze Mayser offers significant improvements in sensing reliability by reducing the effects of spurious light sources.
The new 303 series sensor has been developed especially to satisfy demands for a device that is small enough to mount directly, and unobtrusively, on packaging machines and assembly lines yet offer serious powerful sensing capabilities.
Using Leuze's A2LS technology, the 303 is able to immediately adjust the transmission frequency and/or phase of its own signal, should it detect a possible source of interference, such as ambient light with a similar or identical specification.
In this way maximum sensing reliability is achieved.
A comprehensive range of operations is accommodated - through-beam, retro-reflective (including transparent object detection versions) and diffuse scanners - all set new standards regarding performance.
Equipped with a plastic housing, the dwarf-like sensors have a switching frequency of 1 kHz, are available for plug or cable connection.
Leuze has also included through holes as well as blind holes at their bottom and back allowing for greater mounting flexibility.
