Inductive Cylindrical sensors V3 Series

Datasensing V3 Series

The V3 Series delivers versatile inductive metal-part detection suited for both AC and DC supply systems. With a wide voltage range (20-250 V AC/DC), multiple housing sizes, and flexible mounting configurations, these sensors offer reliable detection in mixed-voltage automation environments.

Design & Functionality

• The series supports AC/DC multi-voltage operation (20…250 V AC/DC), enabling installation across both standard AC mains and DC-powered automation lines. 
• Nominal sensing distance for an M18 shielded model is ~6 mm with standard target 18×18 mm FE360. 
• Correction factors for different metals: e.g., copper 0.39, aluminium 0.46, brass 0.52, stainless steel 0.82 — offering material-specific detection tuning. 
• Repeat accuracy is < 5% and thermal drift of Sr < 10% — ensuring stable sensing performance in changing temperature conditions. 
• Switching frequency: up to ~600 Hz (DC) and ~25 Hz (AC) in the referenced model — supporting detection in dynamic systems. 

Total Crossed Beams

(In this inductive sensor context, this term equates to a consistent magnetic sensing field across the active face.)

• The V3 Series maintains a uniform detection zone, enabling reliable detection of metal parts even with slight misalignment or target presentation variation.
• This ensures repeatable performance and fewer missed detections in fast or high-density automation lines.

Beam Pitch Options

(Here it relates to selectable sensing distances and mounting styles rather than literal optical beams.)

• Example: M18 shielded variant: Sn ~6 mm; operating distance 0…4.8 mm. 
• The variety of housing sizes (M8 to M30) plus shielded/un-shielded options gives flexibility in mounting and target size. 
• With a wide voltage range and high robustness, the V3 Series supports installations where supply type or target material may vary.

Intrinsic Synchronism

• The V3 Series’ electronics include full internal synchronisation, protection (short-circuit, over-voltage) and multi-voltage handling — reducing wiring complexity and installation time. 
• Time before availability (startup) ≤ 100 ms in the referenced model. 

Operational Advantages

• Multi-voltage Flexibility: The broad AC/DC voltage range (20-250 V) means this sensor can be applied across legacy AC systems and modern DC automation without needing separate models.
• Flexible Mounting & Target Sizing: Housing sizes from M8 to M30 and shielded/un-shielded options allow adaptation to different clearance, target size and mechanical constraints.
• Reliable Metal Detection: High repeat accuracy, material correction factors and robust electronics ensure dependable performance even when targets are varied metal types or mounting conditions challenging.
• Applications: Ideal for conveyor & sorting systems, AGVs/AMRs, intralogistics, general manufacturing lines, mixed supply installations and wherever flexible voltage, metal-part detection, and industrial robustness are required.
