Leuze introduces Power PinPoint LED technology in sensors for precise and reliable object detection
New optical sensors feature enhanced detection capabilities and faster commissioning with innovative Power PinPoint LED technology .
The Power PinPoint LED from Leuze emits the maximum light power from a very small surface . The new light source technology can be used to finely position stacker cranes , among other things , using diffuse reflection sensors .
Aligning and commissioning sensors is often very time-consuming . The Power PinPoint LED from Leuze now makes this much quicker and easier . The sensors ’ light-emitting diode emits its maximum light power from a very small surface . The Power PinPoint LED generates a light spot that maintains its size , shape and homogeneity over the sensor ’ s entire working range enabling simple and fast commissioning . This technology also increases process reliability through precise detection . The innovative light source is
available for the first time with Leuze ’ s new 33C and 35C sensor series as well as the 25C , 3C and 5B diffuse sensor series .
Retro-reflective photoelectric sensors achieve a higher function reserve with Power PinPoint LEDs ,
56 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk especially with small reflectors . Retro-reflective photoelectric sensors with Power PinPoint LEDs are ideal for object detection in harsh food industry environments .
Small , bright and precise
Sensors with Power PinPoint LEDs generate a small , round light spot with sharply defined contours .
This gives the sensors extremely reliable detection capabilities and enables precise start and end detection
of an object with pinpoint response behaviour during object tracking . Even small objects are optimally
detected by sensors with Power PinPoint LED thanks to their precise detection capability . Another
advantage is that Retro-reflective sensors with Power PinPoint LEDs have higher function reserves forapplications with small reflect ors or large distances . Also , several through-beam photoelectric sensors can be used in parallel with increased detection reliability as their compact light beam minimizes diffused light .
The Power PinPoint LED also reduces the possibility of unwanted reflection to ensure highly reliable detection .
Throughbeam photoelectric sensors also demonstrate the innovative light source ’ s strengths . Sensors with the Power PinPoint LED provide extremely reliable detection even in confined spaces – for example battery cells in a filling station .

The Power PinPoint LED is already used in the 33C and 35C sensor series , amongst others . Both series ’ ranges include diffuse sensors , retro-reflective sensors and through-beam photoelectric sensors in smooth stainless-steel housings . These are particularly suitable for hygiene-sensitive production and packaging processes . Therefore , they can be used for almost all applications in harsh , wet or hygiene-sensitive environments . The sensors can withstand high mechanical loads and intensive cleaning processes . The 33C and 35C series also include special solutions for packaging processes – including sensors for detection through film , clear glass or PET .
