Longer operating ranges and broader areas of application are only two of the features offered by Leuze’s two new ultrasonic sensors. Suitable for switching and measuring applications, the new devices effectively expand the Leuze line of ultrasonic sensors.

The Leuze HTU 418B and Leuze  DMU 418B switching and measuring devices have an operating range of up to 1 300 mm, while the Leuze DMU 430B measuring devices have an operating range of up to 3 000 mm. These fully metal-enclosed ultrasonic sensors offer protection to Class IP 67

The series are available in cylindrical M18 as well as M30 metal housings, with much shorter design compared to the predecessor models. This means the sensors are easy to install in application locations with limited space using the lock nuts on the external threads.

Both series were equipped with an improved teach function: two push buttons for defining two independent switching points simplify setup and increase flexibility when using the sensors. Device types with an IO-Link interface ensure the intelligent, simple and user-friendly connection and activation of the sensors.

Temperature compensation prevents measurement errors that could be caused by various environmental conditions. Four operating modes, e.g. for changing from synchronous to multiplex operation, offer high flexibility during use.

The ultrasonic sensors operate using a switching behaviour that is largely independent of the surface of the sound-reflecting materials. They are available with various sound lobes, i.e., with different opening angles. The narrow sound lobes in particular permit the detection of the smallest of objects or the detection through the smallest of apertures at short response times.

Countapulse Controls is the official distributor for Leuze sensors in southern Africa and is able to offer technical support including assistance in selection of the most appropriate sensors for any given application.
