Datasensing Optic fibers CV Series

Datasensing Optic fibers CV Series

The CV Series are rugged cylindrical proximity sensors with stainless-steel housings, designed for high-precision metal-object detection in industrial automation. They feature selectable PNP/NPN logic, switching frequencies up to several kHz, high immunity to interference, and protection ratings up to IP67/IP69K β€” ideal for heavy-duty production lines, machine tools and harsh environments.

Datasensing CV Series

The CV Series offers a robust family of cylindrical proximity sensors, engineered for high-reliability metal detection, industrial-grade construction, and versatile automation integration. With stainless steel housings, high switching capability, shielded or unshielded variants, and high protection ratings suitable for wash-down or demanding conditions, this series delivers exceptional durability, consistent repeatability, and flexible application deployment.

Design & Functionality

  • The sensors feature a stainless-steel (AISI 304/316) housing designed for machine-side mounting in harsh industrial environments, including exposure to shock, vibration and fluids.
  • Operational highlights include:
    β€’ High switching frequency for rapid detection of metallic targets passing at speed on conveyors or machine tools.
    β€’ Selectable output logic (PNP or NPN) and Light-On / Dark-On modes to accommodate diverse control architectures.
    β€’ Shielded and unshielded variants deliver flexibility in wiring and EMC-challenging environments.
    β€’ Models with IP67 (and in some cases IP69K) protection ratings ensure reliable performance in wash-down, fluid-exposed or heavy-duty manufacturing zones.
  • Mechanical & environmental robustness: The CV sensors withstand industrial thermal cycling, vibrations and contaminants while maintaining stable detection performance across their lifecycle.
  • Installation flexibility: Available in standard threaded sizes (e.g., M12, M18) with cable or connector options, the CV family supports straightforward mounting, retrofit upgrades and machine-integration without complex modifications.

Total Crossed Beams

(Here the phrase is adapted to mean β€œcomplete and stable detection coverage” rather than literal crossed optical beams.)

  • The CV Series ensures a consistent sensing field for metal objects, meaning that regardless of small misalignments or target position variations, the detection remains reliable β€” reducing missed signals and increasing uptime.
  • This reliability is particularly valuable in automated lines where metallic parts move rapidly and detection stability is critical for process continuity.

Beam Pitch Options

(Here interpreted as variant options of sensing distance/housing size/logic configuration rather than literal beam spacing.)

  • Example variant: Short-range flush mount M12 stainless model for compact machine zones.
  • Example variant: Longer sensing distance M18 cylindrical model with shielded housing for interference-rich environments.
  • These variants allow you to select a CV sensor that matches your target size, mounting space, response speed and electrical environment β€” offering design flexibility.

Intrinsic Synchronism

  • The optics, electronics and output interface are fully integrated within a single housing β€” no external synchroniser or auxiliary unit is required β€” simplifying wiring and reducing component count.
  • With built-in status LEDs (power, output) and easy mounting geometry, the CV series supports fast commissioning, straightforward maintenance, and minimal downtime in demanding environments.

Operational Advantages

  • Durable industrial-grade construction: With stainless-steel housing, high protection rating, and reliable switching, the CV Series delivers long service life even in harsh conditions.
  • High-speed and precise detection: Able to detect metal targets swiftly and repeatedly, making it suitable for high-throughput conveyors, CNC machines, stamping lines, and robotic cells.
  • Flexible integration and mounting: Selectable logic, multiple housing sizes and connector/cable options allow seamless fit into varied machine architectures.
  • Applications: Ideal for metallic object presence/absence detection, target positioning in automation, stamping or machining verification, conveyor metal part tracking, and environments where robust housing, fast switching, and consistent detection are required.
