DataSensing – S85 Series

Laser Distance Sensor

Brand : Datasensing

The DataSensing S85 Series is an advanced line of laser‑based distance sensors utilizing Time‑of‑Flight (ToF) technology for precise non‑contact measurement and object detection in demanding industrial automation applications. These sensors feature a Class 2 visible red laser for easy alignment and provide millimetric resolution, repeatability, and accuracy for distances up to 10 m (standard models) or 20 m (advanced models), making them ideal for tasks such as object positioning, distance feedback, and long‑range presence detection without the need for external reflectors. Housed in a robust IP67 metal casing with a compact cubic form and standard M12 connectivity, S85 sensors are built to withstand harsh operating environments while delivering reliable performance.

The series supports a range of electrical outputs including scalable 4–20 mA or 0–10 V analog signals combined with digital switching outputs and, on advanced variants, RS485 serial communication and onboard display for enhanced configuration, diagnostics, and integration into control systems. With built‑in push‑button or display‑based setup, clear LED status indicators, and multiple output options, the S85 Series is suitable for applications in automated warehousing, packaging machinery, industrial vehicles, automotive systems, and material handling where precise distance measurement and object detection are critical.
