This advanced non-contact positioning sensor is designed for high-performance applications, featuring a mechanically rugged design with no wearing parts, ensuring a long operating life and maintenance-free operation. It utilizes a PROFINET interface for seamless integration into industrial networks.

The sensor excels in non-contact positioning on Data Matrix code tape and Data Matrix TAGs, along with non-contact lane tracking of colored strips. Furthermore, it has the capability to read Data Matrix control codes, making it versatile for various automation tasks. The use of white-blue light enhances visibility and accuracy during operation.

The 262 models are equipped with the most advanced hardware of the DataMan series, with a standard global shutter capable of capturing 45 frames per second, a ⅓ inch sized CMOS visual sensory unit, and numerous integrated systems, such as an auto tune switch, a high powered, intense modular/field configurable LED lighting system, a green pair of LED lights for aiming the lens, and a total of 6 opto-isolated input and output units (2 discrete inputs and 4 discrete outputs) and then, to help novice operators fully understand the status changes of the DMR-262Q-0120, a series of 5, multicolored LED lights to indicate it’s status, and a loud alarm unit in case the scanner is out of the operator’s line of sight.

This sensor features a complementary switching function with a PNP output type, designed for reliable performance in various industrial applications. With a rated operating distance (Sn) of 20 mm, it can be installed flush, ensuring a seamless integration into your systems.

The sensor operates on direct current (DC), making it suitable for a wide range of electrical configurations. It provides an assured operating distance (sa) between 0 and 16.2 mm, while the actual operating distance (sr) ranges from 18 to 22 mm, allowing for flexibility in proximity sensing.

Additionally, the sensor's performance can be affected by the surrounding materials, as indicated by its reduction factors for aluminum (0.33), copper (0.31), stainless steel 304 (0.74), and brass (0.41). This information is crucial for accurately determining the sensor's effectiveness in different environments.

With a 4-wire output type, this sensor ensures optimal connectivity and performance in automated systems, making it an excellent choice for enhancing operational efficiency and safety in industrial settings.
