F3W-D052BP

Optical Sensors are devices that detect presence, absence, change in position, or movement of objects or materials within the beam of the sensor’s transmitter. F3W-D052BP is one of such sensors which comes under the category of Photoelectric, Industrial sensors. This article will briefly discuss its application fields and working principle.

Application Field

The F3W-D052BP is a wide-range AC and DC photoelectric sensor with a sensing distance of 2 m. It is designed to detect both dark and bright objects with high accuracy. Due to its impressive detection distance, it is extensively used in industrial and transportation applications. It is widely used in sensing the presence of objects, detecting movement, counting, feeding, stacking, and positioning. It can be used in big warehouses where the object movement needs to be detected quickly. It can also be used in automated assembly lines and conveyor systems.

Working Principle

The F3W-D052BP operates using a light source and a receiver. When an object is detected, the receiver will detect the interruption of the light beam. The sensor will then convert the light interruption into a logic level signal, which can be used to trigger a relay, drive an alarm, or to activate a control circuit. The sensor also has a built-in adjustable timer, which can be used to control the time for which the output signal will remain activated. This feature makes it suitable for use in applications that require precise control.

The F3W-D052BP features two different modes of operation - NO mode (Normal Open) and NC mode (Normal Closed). In NO mode, the output signal is triggered when an object interrupts the light beam, whereas in NC mode, the output signal is triggered when an object passes through the light beam. The selection of the mode as well as the timing of the output signal can be adjusted using the built-in controls.

The built-in potentiometer provided in the F3W-D052BP allows for fine tuning of the sensitivity of the sensor. By adjusting the value of the potentiometer, the range of the signal can be adjusted to ensure accurate triggering of the output signal. The room temperature of the sensor has also been optimized to ensure consistent output signals across a range of temperatures.

The F3W-D052BP is an advanced photoelectric sensor that offers a wide range of features and options. It is ideal for industrial and transportation applications, where high accuracy and reliable performance are required. With its built-in adjustable timer, adjustable sensitivity, and wide operating range, it is one of the most versatile photoelectric sensors on the market.
