Bringing light to darkness
It transilluminates even metallized and dark films: The
new LS25CI throughbeam photoelectric sensor from
Leuze is very powerful and flexible in use and thus meets
the stringent requirements of the packaging industry.
Owen, May 6, 2022 - The films used in the packaging industry vary greatly: they are more
or less transparent and sometimes even dark or metallized. This makes it challenging for
photoelectric sensors to reliably detect the position of the objects in the packaging. With the
LS25CI, Leuze is introducing a throughbeam photoelectric sensor that is up to the job: The
LS25CI is very powerful and can transilluminate any type of film. This enables the reliable
separation of products and sealing of the film in the right places. The infrared light used is
harmless and poses no danger to the eyes.
Detects object or film
System operators can pick from two models: The LS25CI.XR1 high power can
transilluminate dark films as well as identify individual transparent films. The performance
of the photoelectric sensor can be conveniently configured via a potentiometer. For even
tougher requirements, customers may want to opt for the LS25CI.XX super power:
It transilluminates metallized and dark colored films, even if they are multi-layered.
The receiver works with both transmitter models. The sensitivity of the receiver can also be
quickly and intuitively adjusted via potentiometers.
Robust housings
The housings of the transmitter and receiver meet protection classes IP67 and IP69K.
They are also ECOLAB certified for use in harsh environments that require frequent clean-
ing. The devices are wired with M8 or M12 connectors and can thus be easily integrated
into systems.
The high-performance LS25CI.XX super power also transilluminates metallized and dark-colored films effortlessly.
For example, the front edge of a chocolate bar in the packaging is reliably detected. This allows the individual
products to be separated and the film to be sealed in the right place.
With curiosity and determination, the Sensor People from Leuze have been creating
innovations and technological milestones in industrial automation for more than 50 years.
They are driven by the success of their customers. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow. The tech-
nology leader’s high-tech product range includes a number of different sensors for the field
