The innovative ODT 3C sensor from Leuze can handle both measuring and switching tasks. The new 2-in-1
solution is thus suitable for a wide range of automated industrial applications.
The new ODT 3C sensor from Leuze transmits both switching and measuring information to the machine control system via IO-Link—an efficient and economical 2-in-1 solution.
Is there an object on the conveyor belt? If yes: What is its position or distance to the machine? These are typical issues that need to be addressed in a wide range of industrial applications and processes. In the past, system operators solved this problem through the use of multiple sensors.
With the new ODT 3C from Leuze, only a single device is needed: The innovative sensor can transmit both switching and measuring information to the machine control, which makes it an efficient and economical 2- in-1 solution.
Flexible with a single sensor
The ODT 3C transmits measurement values and extensive diagnostic data via IO-Link. The data includes temperature values, warnings, and signal quality. It features impressive black-and-white behavior (< 3 millimeter at 150 millimeter). The operating range can be easily adjusted via the teach button, line, or IOLink. The new Leuze sensor also offers impressive functional reliability: Active ambient light suppression prevents faulty switching, even when exposed to direct light from LED hall lighting systems. LEDs that are easily visible from all sides allow you to quickly read the status of the ODT 3C. Two independent switching outputs and sensor models with warning output or a small light spot (pinpoint) round of the sensor’s functions. This enables plant operators to use the ODT 3C flexibly in a wide range of applications.
