Leuze HT36I/4X-M12 – Diffuse Sensor with Background Suppression, Series 36
The Leuze HT36I/4X-M12 is a diffuse sensor with background suppression designed for reliable object detection over long sensing distances. Part of the Leuze Series 36 family, this sensor uses the diffuse reflection principle with background suppression to detect objects while minimizing the influence of background surfaces.
Its focused infrared optical system and sensing range up to 2.5 m make it suitable for conveyor systems, pallet handling, packaging machinery, and industrial automation applications. Engineers commonly use this sensor where stable detection is required across different object colors and materials.
