E3F2-DS10C4-N

Optical sensors have become essential components in a wide variety of industrial applications. They make use of the principles of optics and photonics to detect and measure light in order to determine the distance, presence, or speed of an object, or the amount of light in a given area. One such type of optical sensor is the E3F2-DS10C4-N. This article will explain the application field and working principle of the E3F2-DS10C4-N.

The E3F2-DS10C4-N is a photoelectric industrial sensor composed of a transmitter and receiver. It is a non-contact sensor, utilizing infrared light to detect the presence of an object in its field of vision. The E3F2-DS10C4-N is a two wire, DC type, normally open sensor that is both compact and highly versatile. It is capable of detecting a wide range of objects, from milk bottles to paper, metal cylinders, and more. It can also detect the presence of both transparent and dark objects.

The working principle of the E3F2-DS10C4-N is based on the photoelectric effect. The transmitter emits a beam of infrared light (invisible to the naked eye). When the light beam is interrupted by an object, the receiver detects the change and sends a signal to the rest of the system. Depending on the design, the output signal can be a voltage or a current. When in the presence of an object, the signal will turn on the output; when no object is present, the output will be off.

The E3F2-DS10C4-N is a popular choice for industrial sensing applications, particularly for quality assurance automation. It is used to detect objects at a distance, so that they can be sorted, counted, and monitored without requiring physical contact with the object. It is also widely used in robotic applications, where the sensor is used to determine the position and orientation of an object in order to control the robot’s actions.

The E3F2-DS10C4-N is also an ideal choice for safety applications, as it can detect the presence of people and animals, and sound an alarm to alert them of potential danger. It can also be used in applications where precise positioning of an object is needed, such as in security systems or in the medical field.

The E3F2-DS10C4-N is highly versatile and can be used in a wide variety of industrial, robotic, and safety applications. It utilizes the principles of optics and photonics to detect the presence of objects and measure light, making it a valuable component in many industries.
