AS1 Area Sensors - DATALOGIC

The AS1 series from Datalogic represents a family of crossed-beam photoelectric light grids, engineered as area sensors for high-precision object detection. These devices utilize an array of infrared beams between an emitter and receiver unit, creating a detection curtain. Key technical specifications include a detection height of 100mm, a minimum detectable object thickness of just 0.2mm, and an operating range of up to 3 meters. The sensors are available in versions with a trimmer for sensitivity adjustment and feature optical synchronization between the emitter and receiver, eliminating the need for a separate synchronization cable. This design ensures high detection reliability and resolution, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.

These area sensors are primarily deployed in automated machinery and production lines where the detection of small, fast-moving, or irregularly positioned objects is critical. Typical applications include packaging lines for verifying product presence and counting, transportation lines for object sorting and jam detection, and automatic warehouses for pallet positioning and level control. They are also extensively used in wood, glass, and ceramics working machines to detect workpieces, monitor tooling, and ensure operator safety by creating a protective detection field.

The AS1 series encompasses several subcategories and article codes. Key models include the AS1-100-3M-2P, which denotes a 100mm detection height, 3-meter range, and 2 PNP outputs. Other variants like the AS1-100-3M-2N feature NPN outputs. The code structure typically follows the pattern: AS1-[Detection Height]-[Operating Range]-[Output Type]. For example, AS1-100-3M-2P breaks down as: AS1 (series), 100 (100mm height), 3M (3 meters range), 2P (2 PNP outputs). Additional versions may include a 'T' suffix for trimmer adjustment models.
