Inductive Cylindrical sensors AT Series

Datasensing AT Series

The AT Series delivers dependable metal-part detection in industrial automation applications, housed in a standard M30 cylindrical body designed for demanding environments. With model variants covering extended sensing distances, these sensors provide versatility and reliability for conveyors, palletising, packaging and intralogistics systems.

Design & Functionality

• Built in a nickel-plated brass M30 × 1 cylindrical housing, the AT Series suits standard industrial mounting and is designed for durability.
• Sensing distances span from standard ranges up to ~30 mm, enabling detection of larger metal parts or from greater clearance.
• Variants include different exit types (axial cable, radial cable, M12 plug) and wiring options to match installation requirements.
• Equipped with industrial-grade electronics including reverse-polarity protection, short-circuit auto-reset and impulsive over-voltage protection, making the sensor suitable for harsh factory conditions with dust, oil or vibration.

Total Crossed Beams

(In this inductive sensor context, this refers to the uniform detection field across the sensing face rather than literal optical beams.)

• The AT Series maintains a stable sensing zone even at longer detection distances, ensuring consistent detection of metal parts regardless of slight misalignment or background metal surfaces.
• This leads to high repeatability and fewer false positives/negatives when mounted in variable installations.

Beam Pitch Options

(Here the term corresponds to selectable sensing distances and mounting variants rather than beam pitch.)

• Multiple model variants are available, e.g., standard sensing distances and long-distance models (~30 mm) for larger clearance or bigger metal targets.
• The wide range allows system designers to choose the right variant for either compact mounting or larger part detection, balancing cost and performance.

Intrinsic Synchronism

• Internal electronics handle synchronisation, protecting the sensor against power spikes, wiring errors and cross-talk—reducing installation complexity.
• The sensor is ready shortly after power-up, ensuring fast system start-up and reliable operation in automated lines.

Operational Advantages

• Versatility in Mounting & Target Size: With variants ranging up to ~30 mm, the AT Series suits both small and large metal parts or installations with non-ideal clearance.
• Durability and Industrial Protection: Designed for conveyor, intralogistics and general manufacturing environments with metal-rich backgrounds, vibration and variable mounting conditions.
• Applications: Ideal for presence detection of metal parts in conveyor & sorting lines, palletising systems, AGV/AMR platforms, general manufacturing — especially where mounting clearance varies, metal target size differs, and industrial robustness is required.
