Featuring a wide light band, the Leuze RK 46C.DXL VarOS retro reflective sensor is able to reliably detect both small and large objects.

Objects can be round, angular or both, with glossy surfaces, have transparent shrink wrapped film or even be totally black, with gaps or with high ambient light levels. These Leuze sensors are ideal for when the objects to be detected or the associated environmental conditions deviate from the norm.

The Leuze RK 46C.DXL VarOS retro reflective sensor is particularly effective in this regard as it responds to objects with the entire width of its light band, which gives it the capability to be able to handle interruptions. The wide light band allows for detection over a 45 mm to 60 mm wide area

The sensitivity and/or resolution of the sensor can be adjusted easily by means of a button located on the rear housing. And this Leuze sensor features a handy ‘teach me’ function which allows it to be adapted easily between two object sizes greater than 8 mm at the touch of a button. This ensures optimum flexibility of application. The use of this sensor does away with the need for expensive light barriers or multiple individual sensors.

Other features include the ability to calibrate for detection of transparent, perforated or small objects as well as the ability to reliably detect even with depolarising media such as foil packaging.

The Leuze RK 46C.DXL VarOS retro reflective sensor is available from Countapulse Controls, the leading southern African supplier of sensing, measurement, counting, switching, monitoring and positioning instrumentation. The company offers a complete technical advisory service for the most effective use of its products in automotive and other branches of engineering.
