What are DS4 Area and Detection Sensors?
The DS4 Series is a new generation of area sensors designed to detect and measure objects with exceptional precision. Whether you're working with opaque materials or transparent items like glass or plastic, these sensors deliver reliable performance across a wide range of applications.
Key Features:
Versatile Sizing: Available in heights from 300 mm to 3000 mm with beam pitches of 5 mm, 10 mm, and 25 mm.
High Precision: Detects objects as small as 3.5 mm and measures with an accuracy of up to 2.5 mm using optical interpolation.
Fast Response: Ideal for high-speed production lines.
Smart Configuration: Supports IO-Link and wireless programming via an intuitive App GUI.
User-Friendly: Integrated LEDs simplify alignment and provide real-time status feedback.
With both Basic and Standard versions, the DS4 Series caters to everything from simple detection tasks to complex automation challenges.
Why choose DS4 Area and Detection Sensors
The DS4 Series isn’t just about detection—it’s about smart detection. Thanks to features like crossed beam mode for thin object detection and parallel beam mode for dimensional measurement, these sensors adapt to your specific needs.
Plus, advanced functions like pattern matching and blanking make them even more powerful in dynamic environments!
Area and detection sensors vs other sensors in our range
Unlike traditional sensors in OEM’s portfolio—such as photoelectric, capacitive, inductive, and ultrasonic sensors—the DS4 detection and measurement area sensors offer a unique combination of multi-beam detection, high-resolution measurement, and advanced configuration capabilities.
While standard sensors are typically designed for single-point detection or specific material types, the DS4 series provides broad-area coverage with beam pitches as fine as 5 mm, enabling precise detection of objects as small as 3.5 mm.
Additionally, DS4 sensors support optical interpolation for dimensional measurement and feature IO-Link connectivity and wireless programming, setting them apart as a smart, scalable solution for complex automation tasks.
This makes them ideal for applications requiring both detection and measurement, where traditional sensors may fall short.
