Datalogic 950801280 fotoelektromos érzékelő

Datalogic 950801280 is a photoelectric sensor from the S8 line designed for reliable object detection and presence sensing in industrial automation. Housed in a compact stainless steel case with high ingress protection, this sensor is intended for use in manufacturing and packaging lines where accurate part detection, position verification and conveyor monitoring are required. The S8 family focuses on solving challenging detection tasks where targets may be small, fast, transparent, reflective or otherwise difficult to sense.

Advantages

The sensor offers very high performance in a compact form factor and is built with stainless steel construction suitable for hygienic or harsh environments. It delivers reliable switching signals for integration with PLCs and other control systems, and its optical design addresses difficult targets including clear or shiny surfaces. Robust sealing and mechanical design provide resistance to washdown conditions and aggressive operating environments.

Suitable for

• Presence detection on conveyor belts
• Part counting and positioning in assembly lines
• Detection of small or fast-moving components
• Applications requiring detection of transparent or reflective objects
• Use in washdown or hygienic production areas

Key specifications

• Sensor type: photoelectric (optical) sensor
• Housing: compact stainless steel construction
• Protection: high ingress protection suitable for washdown (IP69K class performance in the S8 line)
• Detection capability: optimized for small, fast, clear and reflective targets
• Output: switching output compatible with industrial control systems (PNP/NPN or solid-state variants commonly available in the S8 family)
• Mounting: through-hole or bracket mounting options for conveyor and machine integration

How to use

Install the sensor at the required position along the production line or machine, ensuring a clear optical path to the target area and secure mechanical fixing to avoid vibration. Connect the sensor to the control system following the manufacturer’s wiring conventions for the chosen output type and verify supply voltage and polarity before powering. Adjust sensor alignment and any available sensitivity or teaching functions so the sensor reliably switches on detection of the actual target while ignoring background or conveyor movement. Perform functional tests at operating speed and with representative parts to confirm correct detection and signal timing.

Recommendations

For best results, clean optical surfaces regularly and verify alignment after maintenance or process changes. When detecting transparent or highly reflective objects, use the sensor’s specific modes or teach procedures designed for clear detection and perform tests under actual lighting and speed conditions to optimize sensitivity settings.
