Leuze HT36/4X-M12 – Diffuse Sensor with Background Suppression, Series 36
The Leuze HT36/4X-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 interference from background surfaces.
Its extended sensing range of up to 2.5 m makes it suitable for conveyor systems, pallet handling, and industrial automation applications where longer detection distances are required. Engineers commonly use this sensor for stable object detection across varying target colors and materials.
