Optical Sensors are the part of technology that detects and measures both the intensity and direction of light. Photoelectric, Industrial optical sensors convert light into electrical signals for use in industry, construction, manufacturing, robotics, and many other applications. The FT-A32W Photoelectric/Industrial Optical Sensor from Futronic is a widely used and relied-upon type of optical sensor, and this article is dedicated to exploring its application field and working principle.

The FT-A32W is a reflective photoelectric sensor designed for industrial applications. It is crafted with a thermoplastic polyurethane housing, a self-aligning M12 connector with adjustable angle, and core components such as an optical module, a sensor amplifier, and a dedicated micro-controller. These materials and components are designed to make the FT-A32W tolerant to harsh industrial environment and requirements, including extreme temperatures (-40 to 80°C), waterproof and anti-shocking capability, and so on.

As a reflective type of sensor, FT-A32W detects the distance between the object and the sensor, instead of detecting the object itself. This type of sensor works in a quite simple way. An infrared emitter transmits infrared light to the surface of the target object, and after being reflected, part or all of the infrared light will be received by the receiving end of the sensor. The sensor then calculated the time duration that the light travels from the emitter to the reflection point and back to the sensor receiver, then determine the distance between the object and the sensor. The data is then transmitted in the form of output signals for further use.

The FT-A32W photoelectric/industrial optical sensor senses objects in the distance from 0 to 1.5 meter, with a resolution of 0.1mm and a response time of only 1.2ms. It is fitted with background suppression function that eliminates unstable detection and interference from surrounding background; making it particularly suitable for detecting transparent or dark colored objects. The FT-A32 also has an emitter power control that reduces consumption for longer battery lives, voltage fluctuation suppression that eliminates interference from incoming voltage, and a wide detection range that allows it to detect a wide variety of objects and materials, from transparent and dark colored, to metallic or reflective objects.

The FT-A32W is widely used in industrial automation, process control, security systems, robotic projects, biomedical control, automotive, and many other applications. Its robust design, informative output signals, wide detection range, and reliable performance makes it one of the top choices for optics-based automation and process control projects, as well as safety and security systems where accurate detection and response time is required. The FT-A32W’s waterproof protection and anti-shocking capability allows it to be used indoors and outdoors, in engineering facilities, manufacturing plants, and robotics experiments, making it one of the most reliable and widely-used optics sensors in the industry.

In conclusion, the FT-A32W is a widely-used and celebrated optics-based sensor for various applications, from industrial automation and process control, to safety and security systems. Its rugged and waterproof housing, informative output data, versatility, and responsiveness makes it an approved choice for a wide range of applications. Its wide detection range and adjustable angle connector make it incredibly easy to install, set-up, and operate. All of these qualities make it one of the most sought-after optical sensors in the industry.
