Many light types in a compact housing: The new KRT 3C contrast sensor from Leuze can be flexibly integrated into packaging processes thanks to its multicolour capability and small size.

Increased efficiency, improved commissioning, machine monitoring and process optimisation.

Smart factory's are implementing MD7 systems from Leuze making automation easier and IO-link master, hubs and sensors enabling high performing systems.

At SPS IPC Drives in Nuremberg from 27th to 29th November, Leuze electronic will be focusing its trade fair appearance on the company's competence in safety at work. On the basis of its MLC safety light curtains, the optical sensor manufacturer developed the sensorless Smart Process Gating as an alternative to the muting process.

High transfer efficiency, minimum powder output, uniform powder application; powder coating guns are at the core of powder coating. Electrostatic powder coating is a feasible alternative to wet coating for applications in various industries where large quantities are coated in the same colour.

Whether sauces, snacks or ready meals have to be filled and packaged, high throughput and quick format changes matter in the packaging systems and food industry, and to the highest standards of quality and hygiene, too. For this purpose, the sensors used have to be able to do one thing above all: meet high demands for power, flexibility and hygiene all at the same time.

Making sensor data and information from different sources available globally and linking this data and information in a meaningful way - this is the crux of Industry 4.0. New business ideas make it necessary to make this information globally available and accessible not only within a company but also beyond the boundaries of the company and its location.

Presenting an intelligent sensor cable with SmartCore Technology Leuze electronic designed it to improve machine and system availability. With the new SmartCore cable, Leuze electronic presents an interesting highlight at the Hannover Messe 2018 trade fair especially for applications with moving cables, e.g., in robots or with handling axes.

Expanding its portfolio of optoelectronic and inductive sensors with capacitive proximity switches, Leuze electronic is making it possible for users to obtain complete solutions for all detection requirements from a single source. With its new range of capacitive products, Leuze electronic is introducing contactless, wear-free switches which are resistant to electromagnetic influences, interference and contaminants in the air such as dust.

A new code reader for the fast decoding of 1D, stacked and 2D codes has been developed for equipment used in packaging systems, automation, robotics and production (ARP). The DCR 200i from Leuze electronic is the has surprisingly simple handling that ensures a significant saving of time during commissioning and when changing devices. Furthermore, the DCR 200i impresses with its extremely high reading performance.
