DataSensing – S8 Series

Photoelectric Sensor Compact

Brand : Datasensing

The DataSensing S8 Series is a range of compact and high‑performance photoelectric sensors designed to tackle the most demanding object detection challenges in industrial automation. Built in a slim cubic housing (~14 × 42 × 25 mm) with robust protection (IP67/IP69K), these sensors deliver advanced detection capabilities including background suppression, retro‑reflective detection (even for transparent or shiny objects), contrast mark detection, and clear object sensing with extremely focused spots and high resolution (especially on laser models). The series supports flexible configuration with trimmer adjustments, teach‑in push buttons, and IO‑Link connectivity for enhanced system integration, diagnostics, and parameterization in Industry 4.0 applications.

Designed to operate across a wide range of industrial environments such as food and beverage packaging, pharmaceutical production, and general packaging lines, the S8 Series combines compact size, fast response, and rugged construction to reliably detect small, fast, clear, or reflective objects. Some models are also available with stainless steel housings meeting IP69K standards for environments requiring high‑pressure washdowns and resistance to industrial detergents.
