Distance Sensor

Leuze released its ODT 3C sensor, which can handle both measuring and switching tasks. The sensor transmits measurement values and diagnostic data via IO-Link, including temperature values, warnings and signal quality. It features black-and-white behavior (< ± 3 millimeter at 150 millimeter). The operating range can be adjusted via the teach button, line, or IO-Link. It also offers active ambient light suppression, which prevents faulty switching, even when exposed to direct light from LED hall lighting systems. Two independent switching outputs and sensor models with warning output or a small light spot (pinpoint) round of the sensor’s functions. www.leuze.com
