Product description

The SA Series High Performance M18 Photoelectric Sensors from Datasensing (formerly Micro Detectors) are designed to deliver reliable, high-precision detection in a wide variety of industrial environments. These sensors offer multiple optic functions, including polarized retro-reflective, diffuse proximity, and fixed focus, ensuring versatility and adaptability to different sensing needs. Whether you need to detect objects at varying distances, across challenging backgrounds, or in environments with high ambient light, the SA Series is engineered to provide consistent and accurate performance. 

The M18 barrel housing design of the SA Series ensures exceptional mounting flexibility, allowing for seamless integration into a variety of industrial applications, from automated production lines to complex sorting systems. The sensors are available in both plastic and metal housing, providing options to suit different environmental conditions. The radial 90-degree orientation enhances the flexibility of installation, allowing the sensor to fit in constrained spaces or applications requiring a specific alignment. Additionally, the sensors come with either a 2m embedded cable or an M12 connector, ensuring easy and reliable connections for industrial control systems. 

The SA Series is built for high-performance operation in industrial environments, offering rugged durability to withstand exposure to dust, moisture, and mechanical wear. Their reliable sensing capabilities and rugged construction make them perfect for demanding applications, whether in automated material handling, packaging, robotics, or logistics systems. With a focus on high accuracy and flexibility, these sensors are designed to optimize efficiency and minimize downtime across a range of industrial processes. 

Technical features:

  • Sensor Types: Polarized retro-reflective, diffuse proximity and fixed focus 
  • Housing: M18 barrel housing for excellent mounting flexibility in various industrial applications or available in plastic or metal housing, offering durability and protection in harsh environments.
