Leuze ODT 3C sensor for measuring and switching

The ODT 3C sensor from Leuze is designed to handle both measuring and switching tasks. The 2-in-1 solution is therefore suitable for a wide range of automated industrial applications.

With the ODT 3C from Leuze, only a single device is needed: the innovative sensor can perform both switching and measuring tasks in the machine control, which makes it an efficient and economical 2-in-1 solution.

The sensor transmits measurement values and extensive diagnostic data via IO-Link. The data includes temperature values, warnings and signal quality. It features black-and-white behaviour (<±3 mm at 150 mm). The operating range can be easily adjusted via the teach button, line or IO-Link.

The sensor also offers functional reliability: active ambient light suppression prevents faulty switching, even when exposed to direct light from LED hall lighting systems. LEDs that are easily visible from all sides allow users to quickly read the status of the sensor. Two independent switching outputs and sensor models with warning output or a small light spot (pinpoint) round out the sensor’s functions. This enables plant operators to use the ODT 3C flexibly in a wide range of applications.
