April 3, 2020 - CARLO GAVAZZI announced the launch of Photoelectric Laser Sensors with Integrated IO-Link Communications. The LD30 Series are laser sensors feature background suppression based on the Time of Flight (ToF) sensing principle. These series of photoelectric sensors have a sensing range of up to 1,000mm for either dark or white objects. In addition, the LD30 sensors can be used in an IO-Link network or standard non IO-Link systems. When these sensors are used in an IO-Link network, important data points, like the actual distance to the target can be obtained.
This family consists of 4 sensor types, in either IP67 plastic (LD30CNB) or IP69K stainless steel AISI316L (LD30ETB) housings. Furthermore, every sensor can be configured in more than half a million combinations through the IO-Link communications. The LD30 sensors have been developed to operate in IO-Link environments, where the sensing performance needs to be monitored and logged. Thanks to the full customization of the sensors, customers can choose from lots of combinations of settings, according to their specific requests.
