The Leuze HRTR 3B/2.71 is a high-performance miniature photoelectric sensor from Leuze electronic's renowned Series 3B, operating on the diffuse reflection principle with active background suppression. Engineered for high-precision object detection at close and medium ranges, this sensor reliably identifies target items regardless of color, surface texture, or interfering moving background elements.

KEY FEATURES AND OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGES:
1. Superior Background Suppression: Utilizing precision focused optics, the sensor effectively ignores bright backgrounds or highly reflective objects located beyond the scanning range. The minimal black-white error (< 10%) ensures uniform and dependable detection across matte black to shiny metallic targets.
2. A²LS Active Ambient Light Suppression: Equipped with proprietary optical filtering technology, the sensor is completely impervious to interference caused by ambient industrial lighting, LED fixtures, and direct sunlight.
3. High Switching Frequency & Fast Response: Operating at a fast switching rate of 1,000 Hz (1 kHz) with a 0.5 ms response time, it is ideally suited for ultra-high-speed production lines and detecting tiny, fast-moving items.
4. Quick Alignment via brightVision®: Features a visible red LED light spot (620 nm) for pinpoint accuracy, paired with an 8-turn potentiometer for precise scanning range customization.
5. Rugged Miniature Construction: Enclosed in a compact PC-ABS plastic housing rated IP67, providing robust resistance against dust, moisture ingress, and mechanical vibration in harsh industrial automation environments.
