FT-KV26

Optical Sensors are essential components in industrial machinery. They collect signals and convert them into digital signals that can be used by electronic controllers. The FT-KV26 is a particularly popular optical sensor due to its versatile application fields and reliable working principle.

Introduction

The FT-KV26 is a type of optical sensor manufactured by First Tech (FT). It is a special purpose photoelectric switch, used as an input device to enable digital control systems. This type of sensor is designed be used in industrial and automation applications, allowing machinery to detect predetermined thresholds and respond in kind. The FT-KV26 is particularly useful in situations requiring long-term detection with high accuracy and fast reactivity.

Application Field

The FT-KV26 is a three-wire optical sensor, designed to detect an object such as a finger, a hand, or a light beam. It is most commonly used in industrial and automation applications, such as robot arms, machine tools, assembly lines, and other electronic control systems. It can also be used in safety equipment and contact less on/off switches. The FT-KV26 can operate in a wide range of temperatures, from -20℃ to +50℃, making it the ideal sensor for outdoor applications.

Working Principle

The FT-KV26 has an infrared receiving window, which is able to detect an object that passes in front of it. When this happens, the sensor’s output voltage increases. The FT-KV26 is micro-controlled, allowing it to detect even very small objects with great accuracy. The sensor’s output voltage is adjustable, allowing it to detect objects of different sizes and shapes.

The FT-KV26 is also equipped with a wide variety of features to help improve its accuracy and durability. It has a built-in temperature compensation to improve accuracy in different temperature environments. The sensor also has anti-interference circuitry to reduce the effects of electrical and electromagnetic interference. Additionally, the FT-KV26 has a special light locating circuit, which helps the sensor detect objects even when the lighting conditions are poor.

Conclusion

The FT-KV26 is an extremely versatile and reliable optical sensor. Its versatile application fields, reliable working principles, and built-in features make it a popular choice in industrial and automation applications. Thanks to its ability to detect even small objects with great accuracy, the FT-KV26 is an excellent choice for those looking for an industrial-grade optical sensor.
