Leuze ODT3CL1-2M compact laser diffuse sensor

The Leuze ODT3CL1-2M laser diffuse sensor extends the operating range of its 3C series distance sensors. With time-of-flight (TOF) technology, the switching/measuring sensor with background suppression has an operating range of up to two metres. It is suited to applications in intralogistics where long distances need to be bridged, for example with AGVs, for monitoring the position of goods, for controlling robot grippers or in quality control.

The ODT3CL1-2M offers two independent switching points, and can detect and measure at the same time. System operators can solve both requirements using the one sensor.

Since it is IO-Link enabled, users can evaluate diagnostic data from the diffuse sensor such as temperature, signal quality and warnings. It also makes device swap-out easier, since settings are transferred to the new device loss-free via IO-Link without the sensor having to be taught in again.

Compact in design, the ODT3CL1-2M laser diffuse sensor can also be used where space is limited, such as in the gripper of a robot arm, on shuttles or on stacker cranes. The small, clearly visible light spot allows fast alignment during commissioning, and the operating range can be set numerically via IO-Link.
