Datasensing CS & CAB Series

The CS & CAB Series offers a versatile selection of compact detection sensors (CS) and optical retroreflective accessories (CAB) developed for reliable object presence detection in industrial automation. Designed for flexibility, durability, and simple installation, these units work seamlessly in packaging machines, material handling systems, assembly processes, and compact industrial equipment.

Design & Functionality

The series is built around simple, robust, and compact detection units, supporting both reflective and retro-reflective operation depending on the selected model.

Key functional characteristics include:

  • CS Models (Diffuse Sensors): Provide direct detection of objects without reflectors, ideal for short-range sensing in tight machine spaces.
  • CAB Models (Reflectors/Optical Accessories): Used alongside emitter-receiver sensors or retro-reflective sensors to enhance detection stability and range.
  • Compact housing enables use in small mounting areas or where cabling access is limited.
  • Simple wiring interface ensures fast integration into control panels and sensor networks.

   Important: The CS & CAB Series is designed for cost-efficient, reliable detection in compact mechanical setups, delivering consistent performance without complex configuration.

Total Crossed Beams

(Interpreted for optical accessories and diffuse sensors)

  • Optical geometry ensures high reflectivity (CAB) or stable diffuse reflection (CS), allowing consistent detection even with small or low-contrast objects.
  • Optical alignment is simplified thanks to the uniform lens/reflector surface.

Beam Pitch Options

  • CS diffuse sensors offer narrow beam optics for accurate short-range detection.
  • CAB reflectors available in various sizes and mounting styles, offering flexibility for different sensing distances and installation geometries.

Intrinsic Synchronism

  • Both sensor and reflector elements integrate seamlessly with standard industrial photoelectric sensors.
  • Optical components synchronize automatically with the sensor’s emitter pulse, ensuring stable feedback, minimal signal loss, and high immunity to misalignment.

Operational Advantages

  • Stable detection for short and medium-range applications.
  • Flexible installation thanks to compact sizes and multiple mounting options.
  • Low maintenance β€” no calibration required; reflectors (CAB) provide long service life.
  • Wide application range including packaging, small machinery, conveyors, counting systems, and automated assembly.
