Datasensing PS Series
The PS Series delivers a broad lineup of miniature photoelectric sensors engineered for applications where size matters, yet reliable detection performance is required. With models covering diffuse, retro-reflective and through-beam optical modes β all in an ultra-compact cubic housing β this series provides flexible installation, high sensing distances for size, and rugged industrial durability.
Design & Functionality
- The series uses an extremely compact cubic housing (approx. 15 Γ 54.5 Γ 26 mm) which allows mounting in tight machine-spaces, compact conveyor sideframes or pick-and-place equipment.
- Optical variants include: Diffuse-reflection (nominal distances ~100 mm on targeted white surface) Retro-reflective up to ~3 m on reflector sheet and a broad range of models for versatile detection tasks.
- A sensitivity-adjustment trimmer is built in, enabling fine-tuning of the detection threshold to match target size and background conditions.
- Selectable logic includes NPN or PNP output, Light-On or Dark-On mode β enabling flexible control interface integration.
- Status LED (red) for output state simplifies alignment and diagnostics.
- Protection rating of IP65, plus full electrical protections (reverse polarity, short-circuit auto-reset) ensure reliable operation in factory environments.
Total Crossed Beams
(In this context, this implies that the sensor ensures a consistent detection path within its sensing field rather than literal crossed optical beams.)
- The PS Series ensures a steady and reliable detection zone even when mounted in compact or obstructed spaces, improving consistency in operations where mounting clearance is minimal.
- This consistent performance reduces false-negatives and improves throughput in automated lines, conveyor systems, or machine integration where space is constrained.
Beam Pitch Options
(Interpreted as selectable sensing-distance / optical variant rather than literal beam spacing.)
- Examples: a diffuse model offers ~100 mm nominal sensing distance.
- Retro-reflective variant offers ~3 m nominal detection range.
- These variant options allow you to select a PS model matched to your target size, mounting clearance, background reflectivity and system speed β providing design flexibility.
Intrinsic Synchronism
- The electronics and optics are fully contained within the unit β there is no need for external synchronising wiring, making installation fast and less error-prone.
- The ultra-compact dimension and ready-to-go electronics accelerate commissioning and reduce downtime.
Operational Advantages
- Miniature footprint with full versatility: The PS Series offers multiple optical modes in a very small housing, ideal where space is at a premium.
- Flexible control interface integration: With selectable logic and output modes, the sensor adapts to various PLC or automation architectures without need for extra interfaces.
- Industrial reliability in compact form: IP65 rating, LED status indication, sensitivity adjustment and robust mounting form factor ensure dependable performance.
- Applications: Perfect for conveyor object detection in compact channels, machine tool integration in tight frames, packaging line presence/absence detection, and automation systems where compact installation, versatile optic modes, and reliable detection are required.
