Leuze 53C/55C series photoelectric and diffuse sensors

Click2Contact

Two new sensor series in miniature stainless steel housing: Leuze has developed the 53C and 55C series especially for hygiene-sensitive production and packaging processes.

When packaging or filling foodstuffs or pharmaceuticals, the highest requirements apply to hygiene and the cleaning of the system. With the 53C/55C series, Leuze has developed sensors suited for hygiene-sensitive production and packaging processes. The housing is made of smooth V4A stainless-steel and glass-free, scratch-resistant optics cover. The sensors can withstand demanding cleaning, disinfection cycles and large temperature fluctuations.

The series come in the form of throughbeam photoelectric sensors, retro-reflective photoelectric sensors or diffuse sensors. Depending on the model, the solutions detect glass, PET, film or small parts. The fill level of aqueous liquids can also be detected. The sensors are dust-proof, waterproof and meet the requirements of protection classes IP67/IP68 and IP69K. They can be configured, operated and maintained via IO-Link.

For wet areas, Leuze has developed the 55C series in a gap-free and washdown design for maximum hygiene. Optics and operational controls are made of non-diffusive and chemically stable materials. The 53C series has a hygienic design: the housing is designed to prevent bacterial contamination, smooth contours without fastening holes prevent deposits, and the sensor and machine have a gas-tight connection via the mounting trunnion. The series is suitable for particularly hygiene-sensitive areas where there is direct contact with food or for installation above unpackaged products.
