Highlight
Leuze LS25CI: The perfect retro-reflective photoelectric sensor for the packaging industry.
In the packaging industry, where products are often wrapped in various types of films, reliable position detection is crucial. It becomes particularly challenging with opaque or metallized films that block light. For these challenges, we offer you the Leuze LS25CI, the most powerful retro-reflective photoelectric sensor on the market. Thanks to its powerful yet eye-safe infrared light, it can effortlessly penetrate even metallized films and dark materials. By setting high sensitivity, it can detect even individual transparent layers.
)
Your Benefits:
- Reliable penetration of any packaging films.
- Intuitive and fast adjustment of the transmission power via potentiometer.
- Protection classes IP67 and IP69K.
- ECOLAB certified - specially designed for the food industry.
- Stronger transmitter variant LS25CI.XX super power, which requires no adjustment, for metallized and highly absorbent films.
Reflection Light Barriers
Standard variants:
- Range up to 24 m
Models optimized for transparent objects:
- Ranges up to 6 m
Models optimized for reflective objects:
- Ranges up to 16 m
)
- Transmitter and receiver in one device with opposing reflector.
- Special sensors for transparent media, film-wrapped pallets, or highly accurate positioning.
- Quick and intuitive adjustment of the transmitter power via potentiometer, or Teach button (depending on the model).
- Housing made of plastic, metal, or stainless steel.
- Also available in a cylindrical design.
- Variants with small or long light spot or light band.
- Special versions in Wash-Down or hygiene design and ECOLAB certification, especially for the food industry.
- Interface IO-Link (depending on the model).
- Connection optionally with M8 or M12 circular connector; or cable with or without circular connector.
Light sensor
Light sensor with background suppression:
- Transmitter and receiver in one housing: Detection is done by capturing the light reflected from the object.
- Ranges up to 3 m.
- Reliable detection of objects while simultaneously suppressing the background.
- Intuitive adjustment of the sensing range via spindle and teach button.
- Standard variants (LED and laser).
- Variants with extra large or small light spots.
- Models optimized for highly glossy and polished objects.
Energy-efficient light sensors:
- Detection of objects by capturing scattered light; Ranges up to 1 m.
Dynamic reference sensors:
- Object-independent detection by learning the background; Ranges up to 450 mm.

Highlight
Power PinPoint LED - For precise process reliability.
Light sensors and light barriers with Power PinPoint LED rely on an innovative light source technology. The newly developed light-emitting diode generates a light spot through the sensor's optical system, maintaining its size, shape, and homogeneity throughout the sensor's entire working area.
- Detection of objects in front of a background
- Different special versions
- Types with visible red light or infrared
- Models with IO-Link for format changeover
- Transmitter and receiver in one housing: Detection is done by capturing the light reflected by the object
)
Your Benefits:
- Easy commissioning of sensors for object detection.
- Perfect object tracking with low edge errors due to reliable and precise start and end detection.
- Better detection results in applications with small reflectors and long distances due to higher functional reserves in retro-reflective photoelectric sensors.
- Higher detection reliability in through-beam sensors when multiple sensors are operated in parallel, thanks to the compact light beam with low divergence and improved stray light suppression.
)
Sensors for Ex applications.
- For use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
- Certified according to ATEX and IECEx directives.
- Model with type examination certificates for Zone 2 and 22 as well as for Zone 1 and 21.
Available as:
- Disposable light barriers
- Reflection light barriers
- Light sensors with background suppression
