To the Point
Leuze launches first ever sensors with Power PinPoint LED. The optical sensors can be commissioned easily and provide particularly reliable object detection thanks to the innovative light source technology.
Owen, 8 November 2024 – Aligning and commissioning a lot of sensors in one system is often very time-consuming. The Power PinPoint LED from Leuze now makes this much quicker and easier: The sensors’ light-emitting diode emits the maximum light power from a very small surface. The Power PinPoint LED generates a light spot that maintains its size, shape and homogeneity over the sensor's entire working range. System operators thus benefit from particularly simple commissioning. The technology also increases process reliability through precise detection. The innovative light source is available for the first time with Leuze’s new 33C and 35C sensor series as well as the 25C, 3C and 5B diffuse sensor series.
Small, bright and precise
Sensors with Power PinPoint LEDs generate a small, round light spot with sharply defined contours. This gives the sensors extremely reliable detection capabilities and enables precise start and end detection of an object with pinpoint response behavior during object tracking. Even small objects are optimally detected by sensors with Power PinPoint LED thanks to their precise response behavior. Sensors with the new light source technology can therefore also be used as an alternative to diffuse sensors in some cases. Another advantage: Retro-reflective sensors with Power PinPoint LEDs have higher function reserves for applications with small reflectors and large distances. Operating several throughbeam photoelectric sensors in parallel increases detection reliability as their compact light beam minimizes diffused light. The Power PinPoint LED also reduces reflection bypasses to ensure highly reliable detection.
Power PinPoint LED in stainless-steel sensors
The Power PinPoint LED is already used in the 33C and 35C sensor series, among others. Both series’ ranges include diffuse sensors, retro-reflective sensors and throughbeam photoelectric sensors in smooth stainless-steel housings. These are particularly suitable for hygiene-sensitive production and packaging processes. System operators can therefore use them for almost all applications in harsh, wet or hygiene-sensitive environments. The sensors can withstand high mechanical loads and intensive cleaning processes. The 33C and 35C series also include special solutions for packaging processes – including sensors for detection through film, clear glass or PET.
