DataSensing
Datasensing is an Italian manufacturer of industrial sensors and safety technology. The range runs from the photoelectric sensor through inductive, capacitive and ultrasonic sensors to safety light curtains and encoders. We list more than 7,100 Datasensing items across two areas: sensors for automation and components for machine safety.
Photoelectric sensors
With around 2,700 items the largest block in the Datasensing sensor programme: photoelectric sensors work as through-beam, retro-reflective or diffuse types. Which principle fits depends less on the object than on the mounting situation – whether emitter and receiver can be installed separately and whether there is room for a reflector.
Inductive and ultrasonic sensors
Around 1,400 inductive sensors detect metal without contact and are the most robust answer where dust, chips or coolant would disturb optical detection. Where neither metal nor a clear line of sight can be assumed, the good 420 ultrasonic sensors take over – they also handle transparent, reflective or foamy surfaces where optics reach their limit.
Area sensors for measuring and counting
The good 400 area sensors cover a plane rather than a point: height and width measurement, contour checking, presence across a whole opening. In intralogistics they are the tool of choice when conveyed goods have to be measured or checked for overhang.
Machine safety
The second area covers around 1,670 items under safety and guidance, among them nearly 700 safety light curtains. Light curtains are classified into types to IEC 61496; which type is required and which performance level to EN ISO 13849-1 is finally achieved follows from the risk assessment and the complete safety chain – not from the component alone. Talk to us before you choose.
Encoders, replacements and advice
Alongside them some 180 encoders for linear and angular measurement. Within one series Datasensing differentiates by housing style, switching distance, connection type and output function – which is why a handful of families carry several thousand part numbers. If you have the order number or type designation of the existing sensor, we will find the matching variant. If not, tell us the task, the mounting situation and the control interface.
