Datasensing Basic Series

The Basic Series delivers a flexible and dependable solution for metal-part detection across a wide range of standard industrial automation applications. With a broad selection of housing sizes (from Ø 6.5 mm to M30), double-range variants, and both flush and non-flush mounting options, this sensor line ensures versatile integration in general-purpose detection tasks.

Design & Functionality

  • Available in standard cylindrical bodies including Ø 6.5 mm, M4, M5, M8, M12, M18, M30, the Basic Series offers wide form-factor flexibility to match space, mounting and target size requirements. 
  • The series offers double-range variants (for example M12 up to ~4 mm, M18 ~14 mm, M30 ~20 mm) enabling the choice between compact clearance installations or longer sensing distances. 
  • Both shielded (flush-mount) and unshielded (non-flush) models are available, providing flexibility based on background materials and installation needs. 
  • Built-in electronics include standard protections such as reverse-polarity, short‐circuit auto reset, and wide supply voltage ranges—ensuring reliable operation in industrial environments.

Total Crossed Beams

(In this inductive sensor context, this concept maps to a consistent detection zone across the sensor’s active surface.)

  • The Basic Series ensures a stable sensing field, even when installed in variable mounting conditions or when target alignment is less precise, enhancing detection reliability of metal parts.
  • This supports reliable operation across different metallic materials and sizes, reducing missed detections in standard automation tasks.

Beam Pitch Options

(Here interpreted as selectable sensing distances and resolution options rather than literal optical beams.)

  • Nominal sensing distances are specified by model—for example, in one variant a sensing distance of ~8 mm in an M18 flush model. 
  • Repeat accuracy is high (e.g., < 3% in one case), and mechanical protection up to IP67 is typical—ensuring stable detection performance over time and under changing temperature or mechanical stress

Intrinsic Synchronism

  • Internal electronics manage timing, sensitivity and output stability—making installation straightforward and reducing external wiring complexity.
  • Deployment is fast: once powered the sensor is ready for operation quickly, supporting efficient system start-up in automated lines.

Operational Advantages

  • Cost-effective, versatile design: The Basic Series offers wide size and range options tailored for standard metal-detection tasks in manufacturing, packaging, conveying and general automation.
  • Broad compatibility: With multiple housing diameters, mounting styles, shielded/unshielded options, and double-range versions, it suits many applications without need for specialised sensor types.
  • Applications: Ideal for detecting metal parts in conveyor systems, manufacturing lines, packaging machines, food and beverage equipment (metal detection zones), assembly systems—especially where standard form-factor, general-purpose reliability, and economical pricing are valued.
