(Leuze Electronics: Duluth, GA) -- With the new ODT3CL1-2M laser diffuse sensor, the sensor people from Leuze extend the operating range of its 3C series distance sensors. Thanks to innovative time-of-flight (TOF) technology, the switching and measuring sensor with background suppression works with an operating range of up to two meters. This makes the ODT3CL1-2M suitable for all applications in intralogistics where long distances need to be bridged, e.g., in automated guided vehicles for monitoring the position of goods, for controlling robot grippers, or in quality control. Reliable use is guaranteed even under harsh conditions because the sensor satisfies the high requirements of a IP69K degree of protection.
