CS-L series - Linear Cylinder Sensor

The new CS-L from KEYENCE focuses on visibility, easy install, and simple wiring. This is the world’s first linear cylinder sensor with a bar LED. The LED makes it possible to view the live piston position down to a resolution of 1 mm. This sensor is mounted top-down on the cylinder, eliminating any disassembly to attach, remove, or adjust the sensor. The sensor can also be set via the push of a button as the sensor covers the length of the cylinder's stroke. Cycle time and downtime can now be reduced with impact level and stroke time information being provided from the sensor. Wiring is cut in half by providing 2 outputs from each sensor down a single wire. Loose wires or M8 connectors make integration into any setup easy.

Features

Pneumatic Cylinder Sensor with Visible Indication and Easy Installation

Wide-Range Piston Position Detection

The inline sensing element detects the internal piston magnet to determine its position with 0.1 mm resolution. Meanwhile, a proprietary algorithm calculates the impact level during operation. This cylinder information is integrated with other equipment to help reduce cycle times and minimise downtime.

2-Point Teach Set Point

Unlike traditional cylinder sensors, no tedious alignment adjustments are required to ensure an output from the cylinder. Simply press the button to create a set point at the desired location of the stroke.

Identify Sensor Status at a Glance

The sensor’s bar LED display provides instant visibility into the status of the cylinder sensor. In the event of an issue, it helps identify the likely cause, reducing the downtime required for recovery.

Indicates Cylinder Performance

Cylinder sensors can output the position information of the piston and the impact level, providing benefits in a wide variety of situations such as the calculation of cylinder stroke time and the early detection of device problems.

* Only the PNP M8 connector type can be used

High-Functionality Amplifier Accessory

When required, utilising the amplifier allows for customisation of sensor settings. The amplifier can be disconnected after settings are configured if only two outputs are necessary or remain on the machine permanently.

Adjustable Set Point Window

Using the high functionality amplifier, any output window can be made larger or more precise to avoid errors from external factors.

Create a 3rd Output

Set a third output on the cylinder for applications where positioning is required to operate smoothly.

Utilise in Hard to Reach Environments

Create outputs with the amplifier to achieve easy set-up in hard-to-reach locations on the machine.
