Leuze

Leuze Electronic is a leading German manufacturer of optoelectronic sensors, safety equipment, and identification systems for industrial automation. The company, headquartered in Owen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, develops and produces an extensive range of sensors for presence detection, distance measurement, color and contrast detection, barcode reading, and machine guarding. At Verkopershulp.nl, more than 806 Leuze products are available.

Leuze's core range includes photoelectric sensors (reflective, through-beam, and diffuse), safety light curtains and safety laser scanners for machine guarding, barcode readers and RFID readers for industrial identification, distance sensors and laser meters, and cable-based position encoders. Leuze is renowned for its innovative optical technology, robust construction, and high reliability in demanding industrial environments.

Leuze safety light curtains from the MLC series are certified according to EN ISO 13849-1 (PLe/Category 4) and IEC 61508 (SIL3) for applications requiring personnel protection around hazardous machines. These light curtains are available in protection zone heights from 150 to 1200 mm and protection distances up to 20 meters, offering finger detection down to 14 mm object resolution.

For logistics and warehouse management, Leuze offers the BCL series barcode readers and LRS series laser distance sensors. The BCL 500 series omnidirectional barcode readers can detect barcodes regardless of orientation on conveyor belts, with decoding speeds up to 1,500 codes per second. This makes them ideal for high-speed sorting and identification systems in distribution centers.

At Verkopershulp.nl, you will find the complete Leuze Electronic range for direct delivery. Our technical team advises you on the correct sensor specification, connection, and configuration for your specific detection or safety application.

Leuze has expanded its product portfolio in recent years to include safety laser scanners for area protection, enabling the creation of complex spatial safety zones around hazardous machines. The RSL series safety laser scanners detect people and objects in configurable protection fields and are increasingly used in cobot environments, AGV systems, and flexible production cells. Integration with Safety PLCs via safety protocols such as PROFIsafe accelerates implementation in modern production systems.

For data transmission, Leuze supplies the DDLS series optical data transfer systems for contactless transmission of Ethernet and industrial bus signals over distances up to 300 meters. This is particularly valuable in crane and hoisting applications where slip rings cause problems. Leuze Electronic also offers complete system solutions for automating doors and access systems via the ZoneControl series safety control, where sensors, actuators, and controllers are fully integrated.

History

Leuze Electronic was founded in 1963 in Owen, Germany. The company began as a manufacturer of photoelectric switches and grew rapidly due to the rise of industrial automation. In the 1970s and 1980s, Leuze expanded its range to laser distance meters and industrial barcode readers, products that were crucial for the emerging logistics automation. In the 1990s, Leuze introduced its first integrated safety light curtains. Through continuous R&D investments, Leuze grew into a full specialist in industrial sensor technology and safety automation. Today, Leuze has more than 1,500 employees and sells its products in more than 80 countries. Leuze Electronic grew internationally through establishing national sales organizations and investing in regional service teams. Collaboration with automation system integrators and OEM machine builders significantly strengthened its market position. Leuze maintains its status as a family company, contributing to continuity in product development and long-term customer relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Leuze safety light curtains are available at Verkopershulp.nl?
We carry the Leuze MLC series safety light curtains in various protection zones from 150 mm to 1200 mm height, with finger resolution of 14 mm, hand protection at 25-40 mm, and body protection at 90 mm. All are certified for PLe/Category 4 and SIL3.
Are Leuze photoelectric sensors available in IP67 protection class?
Yes, most Leuze photoelectric sensors are available as standard in IP67 protection class for use in wet or dusty environments. Special IP69K variants are available for applications with high-pressure cleaning processes, such as in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Which Leuze barcode readers are suitable for high-speed conveyor belts?
The Leuze BCL 500 series omnidirectional barcode readers and BCL 300i series fixed-mount barcode readers are suitable for high-speed conveyor belts up to 3 m/s. They support all common barcode types including 1D codes (Code 128, Code 39, EAN/UPC) and can be combined with laser distance sensors for 3D sorting solutions.
How quickly are Leuze products delivered through Verkopershulp.nl?
Common Leuze sensors in stock are shipped the same business day when ordered before 4:00 PM. Delivery in the Netherlands takes 1-2 business days. Less common models are typically delivered within 5-10 business days through Leuze Electronic.
Are Leuze safety light curtains compatible with existing safety relays?
Yes, Leuze MLC safety light curtains are compatible with most common safety relays and safety programmable controllers (Safety PLC) from manufacturers such as Pilz, SICK, Schmersal, and Omron via OSSD signal connections. Optional fieldbus interfaces for Safety Profibus, PROFIsafe, and CIP Safety are available.
Does Leuze also offer optical data links for contactless data communication?
Yes, the Leuze DDLS series optical data links provide contactless, bidirectional data links via infrared or laser for transmission over distances up to 500 meters. They are used in crane drives, automated guided vehicles (AGV), and conveyor systems for reliable data transfer without slip rings or cable carriers.
Are Leuze sensors available with IO-Link communication?
Yes, many Leuze sensors are available with IO-Link (IEC 61131-9) communication for advanced parameter configuration and diagnostics. IO-Link sensors allow you to communicate process data, diagnostic information, and sensor parameters bidirectionally via a standard 3-wire connection.
Does Verkopershulp.nl also supply Leuze accessories such as brackets and cable sets?
Yes, we supply mounting brackets, cable sets, reflectors, and connection cables for all common Leuze sensor types. Correct bracket and cable selection is essential for reliable and safe installation of Leuze sensors in your application.
