Throughbeam photoelectric sensor detect through metal and dark films
A powerful sensor developed by Leuze can transilluminate even metalised and dark films, meeting the stringent requirements of the packaging industry. Such films can be challenging for photoelectric sensors to reliably detect the position of the objects in the packaging. The LS25CI is powerful enough to transilluminate any type of film to enable the reliable separation of products and sealing of the film in the right places. The infra red light used is harmless and poses no danger to the eyes, added the company.
The company offers two versions of the throughbeam photoelectric sensor. The LS25CI.XR1 is a high power sensor which can transilluminate dark films as well as identify individual transparent films. The performance of the photoelectric sensor can be conveniently configured via a potentiometer.
For even more challenging requirements, there is the LS25CI.XX superpower. This model transilluminates metallised and dark coloured films, even if they are multi-layered.
The receiver works with both transmitter models and its sensitivity can be quickly and intuitively adjusted via potentiometers.
The housings of the transmitter and receiver meet protection classes IP67 and IP69K. They are also ECOLAB-certified for use in harsh environments that require frequent cleaning. The devices are wired with M8 or M12 connectors for easy integration into systems.
Leuze produces switching and measuring sensors, identification systems, data transmission and image processing and machine safety components and systems.
The focus areas of its work are the automotive industry and laboratory automation, intralogistics, packaging and machine tools.
Leuze was founded in 1963 and is headquartered in Owen / Teck in southern Germany and has technological competence centres and 20 sales companies supported by more than 40 international distributors.
