Datasensing Reflectors R Series

Datasensing R Series

The R Series offers a complete family of industrial retroreflectors, engineered to provide high-intensity reflective performance, long-distance signal return, and robust installation flexibility for use with retro-reflective and polarized photoelectric sensors. The series covers a wide range of reflector types including compact round reflectors, flat adhesive reflectors, and medium panel reflectors — providing reliable sensing solutions for both standard and polarized optics.

Design & Functionality

• The R Series reflectors use high-efficiency reflective surfaces that return the emitted sensor beam directly back to the receiver, ensuring strong signal reliability even in demanding environments.
• Key features include:
  • Multiple shapes and sizes — from small round reflectors to larger rectangular units for extended sensing distance.
  • Polarized-sensor compatible versions, providing strong contrast and reducing false detections from shiny surfaces.
  • Durable construction, using metallized reflective material and protective coatings for long service life.
  • Easy mounting using screws, adhesive backing, or frames, enabling fast installation on conveyors or machine frames.
• With high reflective power, the reflectors allow sensors to operate at longer distances and with higher immunity to misalignment or vibration.

Important: The R Series significantly improves detection stability by maximizing the amount of returned light, enabling sensors to work reliably even in dusty, vibrating, or wide-range setups.

Total Crossed Beams

(Interpreted as: full reflective coverage across the sensing field)

• The R Series ensures a uniform reflective area, meaning that the sensor receives a stable, high-intensity return signal across the entire reflector surface.
• This results in high repeatability, fewer signal fluctuations, and dependable performance even when the reflector or sensor experiences minor misalignment.

Beam Pitch Options

(Interpreted as: variety of reflector sizes, shapes, and optical patterns)

• Small round reflectors — Ideal for compact spaces, short–medium sensing distances.
• Medium square reflectors — Balanced option for standard industrial detection tasks.
• Panel reflectors — Designed for longer distance sensing or wider detection windows.

Important: The multiple reflector formats allow engineers to tailor the reflective surface to the machine layout, maximizing sensor performance.

Intrinsic Synchronism

• As passive devices, reflectors synchronize automatically with any compatible retro-reflective sensor — no electronic configuration required.
• Their optical design ensures that the emitted beam is returned along the same axis, resulting in stable detection, minimal setup time, and strong noise immunity.

Operational Advantages

• High detection reliability: Strong reflective efficiency improves signal-to-noise ratio for long-distance sensing.
• Broad mounting flexibility: Flat, round, and panel reflectors fit a variety of machine geometries.
• Low maintenance: Reflectors require no power, calibration, or electronic setup — providing long-term stability.
• Applications: Conveyor detection, packaging systems, door/gate monitoring, transport lines, presence detection tunnels — anywhere retro-reflective sensing and stable light return are required.
