Leuze - Spot on! Simple and targeted detection
For the detection of the most diverse objects, sometimes a simple solution is conceivable: a Leuze photocell with a competitive price and excellent performance!
Whether in intralogistics applications (detection of bins, boxes, pallets, racks, etc.) or in packaging technology, where compact construction and standardization are important, or in one of many other applications: reliable detection does not have to be expensive.
Series 5B photoelectric sensors
The series 5B photocells are comprehensive and equipped for many applications. They are available as reflector photocells, for direct reflection (probe) or as separate transmitter-receiver systems. They are suitable for different ways of connection, equipped with a bright LED indication, visible over long distances. Your advantage: fast commissioning and alignment. Standard in density, IP67- and ECOLAB-certified.
The reflector photoelectric sensors are even capable of reliably recognizing, for example, foil-wrapped objects (such as pallets). Probes with exact background suppression see only what you want to see. And the separated transmitter-receiver variants even switch at 900 Hz!
With the narrow beam (red light) and solid housing, a modern sensor family has been added.
Standardization can save a lot of money. Here it helps if you can suffice with only one or a few types: in addition to cost reduction at purchase, fewer spare parts are needed. Smart technology combined with a satisfied buyer, who doesn't want that?
As soon as the requirements become more stringent or the application more difficult, Leuze doesn't leave you alone either: the sensors of the "extended" and "advanced" series offer solutions for the most extreme conditions. Be it heated sensors, variants with even higher density, IO-Link communication, laser variants or other, special optical versions: get advice from an expert at itsme. We can often find a suitable sensor to solve your detection problem.

Leuze - Give me a tough questionRead moreIn industrial automation, sensors are the eyes and ears of the machine or plant. By far the most commonly used binary switching sensors are inductive and optical. Inductive sensors are well suited to technical applications that require metal detection, such as monitoring start or end positions, valve position or speed controls. Optical sensors, however, have a much wider range of applications.

Avebe - A Good Night’s Sleep Thanks to FactoryScanRead moreCompanies often have no clear idea of the installed base of industrial automation in their factories and warehouses. With FactoryScan, itsme can provide an overview of the current status of automation components such as PLCs. Potato processor Royal Avebe uses the results to update their component stock and assess future availability. The scan is intended to reduce the number of hardware-related disruptions Process Control Engineer Johan Wierenga has to deal with. It also helps him sleep better, knowing the stock is up to date.
