Photoelectric Cubic sensors RX Series

Datasensing RX Series

The RX Series provides a versatile family of photo-electric sensors engineered for a wide range of detection tasks — from short-range background suppression to long-span detection up to several metres. With options across diffuse reflection, retro-reflective, polarised, through-beam and background suppression modes, the RX line delivers flexible installation, high sensing span, and industrial reliability.

Design & Functionality

• The RX series uses a “Maxi” housing format with compact yet robust dimensions (~26 × 86.6 × 61 mm for one diffuse model) allowing long-range detection in a well-structured form-factor.
• Optical modes include:
  • Diffuse reflection long-distance models (e.g., nominal ~4.5 m on white target) 
  • Background suppression models with ranges ~0.05 … 0.3 m (50-300 mm) for close object detection near backgrounds 
  • Retro-reflective, polarised and through-beam versions available, enabling versatile detection in different application layouts.
• Output logic: For DC versions, selectable NPN/PNP and NO/NC, for AC/DC versions relay output (NO/NC) — enabling integration with different control systems and logic architectures. 
• Sensitivity adjustment via trimmer enables fine-tuning of detection thresholds for varying target sizes, backgrounds or ambient lighting conditions. 
• LED indicators: Two LED indicators (green for stability/ready, red for output/alignment) with 360° visibility support quick alignment and diagnostics. 
• Protection rating IP65, ensuring the sensor is suitable for industrial environments with dust or moderate splashing. 

Total Crossed Beams

(Here interpreted as the sensor offering a reliable full detection path across the targeted measurement zone rather than literal crossed optical beams.)

• The RX Series ensures a consistent detection field, whether in short-span background suppression or long-span diffuse mode, reducing missed detections and enhancing reliability in automated systems.
• This is particularly valuable in machine-vision, conveyor detection, sorting systems or any scenario where target presentation or background may vary significantly.

Beam Pitch Options

(Here interpreted as selectable sensing-distance/variant options rather than literal beam pitch.)

• Example variant: Diffuse reflection long-distance model with nominal sensing distance ~4.5 m on a white target. 
• Example variant: Background suppression model with nominal sensing distance ~50 mm (blind zone ~50 mm) up to ~300 mm. 
• These variant options enable you to select an RX model suited to your target size, installation distance, background condition and control logic — offering design flexibility.

Intrinsic Synchronism

• All electronics and optic modules are self-contained—no external synchronisation wiring or modules are required—making the RX Series simpler to install and commission.
• Time-before-availability after power-on is ≤ 200 ms in many models, enabling quick startup and minimal downtime.

Operational Advantages

• Wide-range detection capability: With versions offering sensing distances from very short (e.g., 50 mm) to long (up to ~4.5 m), the RX Series covers a broad spectrum of applications.
• Flexible logic and output options: Whether you have a DC system with NPN/PNP logic or an AC/DC system requiring relay outputs, the RX line adapts to your control architecture.
• Reliable in industrial conditions: With IP65 protection, LED diagnostics, sensitivity adjustment and robust housing, the sensor is built for factory automation.
• Applications: Suitable for conveyors, packaging lines, material-handling systems, presence/absence detection, long-span beam detection, machine-tool sensors and any environment where versatility, long detection span, and compact installation are required.
