Diffuse sensor type in IP67 rated body
Optical distance sensor has improved accuracy, fast detection and an increase in configuration possibilities.
The latest optical distance sensor to be announced by Leuze Mayser has improved accuracy, fast detection and an increase in configuration possibilities The ODSL 30 sensor has a membrane keypad for simple parameterisation and set-up of teach-in functions

Readers make sense of 2D barcodes
To complement and extend the functionality of its extensive range of barcode readers and vision systems Leuze Mayser has added a series of two-dimensional code readers.
It is a diffuse sensor type with transmitter and receiver housed in the same IP67 rated body.
It derives its measured output through computation of a phase shift between transmitted and receiver signal, the latter reflected from the target object; it has particularly good black and white properties.
Over its entire measuring range of 0.2 to 30m this diffuse reflection sensor can deliver an accuracy of +/-2mm.
Measuring time is up to 30ms and it delivers the actual measurement rapidly.
These make it suitable for applications such as diameter measurement, positioning of lift platforms and positioning the forks of fork-lift trucks.
The membrane keypad allows simple parameterisation of the upper switching point, which is norm for many sensors of this type, but also enables set-up of a lower switching point by stepping through a simple menu.
This development allows for quick adaptation of an analogue output characteristic curve by teach-in during the production process.
A setting of an offset-preset value compensates for mounting tolerances.
Where sensors are used in banks next to one another, their performance can be synchronised and adjusted to deliver their values at the same time and at the same interval. Request a free brochure from Leuze Mayser ...
