The Datalogic S8 series puts several special detection tasks into one compact housing with an M8 connector and a 12 … 30 Vdc supply. Instead of mixing brands and mounting styles on one machine, you can choose the S8 version that fits each job: colour marks, invisible luminescent marks, small parts or clear bottles.
S8 models compared
| Model | Function | Range | Light | Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S8-PR-5-W03-PP | Contrast sensor, coaxial | 10 mm | RGB LEDs, automatic selection | PNP |
| S8-PR-5-W03-NN | Contrast sensor, coaxial | 10 mm | RGB LEDs, automatic selection | NPN |
| S8-MR-5-U03-PP | Luminescence sensor, coaxial | 10 … 30 mm | UV LED 375 nm | PNP |
| S8-PH-5-M01-PP | Background suppression | 20 … 200 mm | Red laser, Class 1 | PNP |
| S8-PH-5-B51-PP | Polarized retroreflective, coaxial | 0 … 10 m | Red laser, Class 1 | PNP |
| S8-PR-5-T51-PP | Retroreflective for transparent objects | 0 … 0.8 m | Red LED | PNP |
What each version solves
- RGB contrast (W03): reads coloured print marks, switching at up to 10 kHz with 50 µs response. See our contrast sensor guide.
- UV luminescence (U03): detects invisible fluorescent marks, glue and threads that glow under UV light. Its AISI 316L stainless steel housing is rated IP69K for wash-down areas in food and pharma.
- Laser background suppression (M01): a precise laser spot for small parts, switching up to 5 kHz.
- Coaxial laser retroreflective (B51): long range up to 10 m with a reflector.
- Transparent objects (T51): detects clear bottles, trays and film that normal sensors miss.
Typical applications
- Packaging lines with coloured marks and clear containers
- Glue and label presence checks with UV-visible markers
- Small part detection in assembly
- Food and pharma wash-down areas (stainless steel UV version)
