The ability to accurately measure over both short and long distances is critical in sensing applications. Leuze has leveraged technology to enable customers to achieve this no matter the parameters. Two types of Leuze optical distance sensors are available – one using laser or LED light and the other using ultrasonic technology. Sensors that use laser or LED light are able to quickly and precisely measure distances on a wide range of materials, even at extended ranges. The Leuze product line-up caters for varying applications and includes a basic laser distance sensor with a measurement range from 20 mm to 500 mm. This compact sensor, the Leuze ODSL 8, is in a compact metal housing and supplies reflection-independent distance information. The Leuze PDSL 9 sensor enables accurate measurement even under difficult conditions including glossy objects. Its integrated display shows the measurement values and facilitates easy adjustment of the sensor. This sensor offers greater flexibility as it can be used in combination with digital interfaces.
