Line of inductive switches expanded

Leuze electronic has expanded its line of inductive switches and, as a result, now has a well-matched line of sensors for its core industries, such as intralogistics, packaging systems, the wood products industry, robotics and tool manufacturing.

Depending on the metal to be detected, the operating range of an inductive switch varies (reduction factor). Leuze electronic now offers universal sensors for metal-independent object detection (reduction factor 1) with large scanning ranges and a high switching point stability over the entire temperature range. Both the scanning ranges as well as the variety simplify the choice for the user. Now also available – complementing the cubic and miniature designs – are versions with thread sizes from M8 to M30 in robust metal housing. For use in environments with higher requirements on the housing material, Leuze electronic now also offers cylindrical stainless steel designs. Moreover, sensors are now available in the wide AC/DC operating voltage range from 20 to 240 volt in two-wire design with switching contact, whereby sensors using the normally closed contact switching principle (NC models) are preferred in applications with high-performance drives as well as in heavy-duty materials handling or in systems with very low control density and long cable lengths.
