Leuze electronics, Inc. relocates and expands, Invests $1.2 million in local economy.

The European Machinery Directive requires that a risk analysis be performed for every machine before being brought to market. The convergence of IT and OT as well as the rapid technological development has made it necessary to revise the Machinery Directive. The result is the new Machinery Regulation: It will replace the Machinery Directive as the legal foundation. It contains additional requirements on the risk analysis. In addition to the general procedure for the risk analysis, various processes for the risk assessment are introduced and their properties explained in the following.

Thanks to an adjustable sound cone and small dead zone, the new Leuze ultrasonic sensors of the 420B and 412B series can be used for many different applications.

Small housing, big operating range: Thanks to TOF technology, the new ODT3CL1-2M compact diffuse sensor from Leuze achieves an operating range of up to two meters. The 2-in-1 sensor detects the presence of objects and at the same time transmits measurement values.

As part of its global growth strategy, Leuze in the USA is moving to new premises. The US Leuze Sales, Production and Development departments will in the future be located in Duluth, Georgia.

In 1963, the electronics division of the Leuze Group came into being. In 2023, the international sensor expert is celebrating its 60th anniversary.

An innovative solution by Leuze secures the transfer stations by means of dynamic protective field adjustment. This makes additional safety measures such as barriers and fences unnecessary.

Leuze introduces new tower lights in robust aluminum housing onto the market: The TL 305 series impresses with bright and homogeneous illumination as well as an optional IO-Link interface.

Compact ultrasonic sensors from Leuze: The new sensors of the HTU200 and DMU200 series master challenging applications in the packaging and automotive industries by themselves.

Leuze is placing its strong growth on a broader footing and has expanded its executive management. Xavier Hamers joined the company on April 1, 2023.
