KT5W-2N1316D

Optical sensors, which are used to detect and measure light or radiation, have a wide range of commercial, industrial and medical applications. Depending on their characteristics and function, optical sensors can be divided into two broad categories: photoelectric and industrial. The KT5W-2N1316D is an example of a photoelectric sensor used in industrial applications.

The KT5W-2N1316D is a photoelectric sensor that uses infrared light to detect and measure the presence of objects. It is ideal for use in industrial applications, such as material handling or safety protection. The device is shaped like a rectangular prism with a light guide that can be directed at any desired angle. The sensor has two components, an infrared light source and a receiver, which are mounted at opposite sides of the guide. When an object obstructs the light source, the receiver detects the interruption and triggers a switch.

The KT5W-2N1316D is widely used in industrial applications due to its reliability, durability and high sensitivity. Its infrared emission range is adjustable from 0 to 8 mm, depending on the application, which makes it suitable for use in a variety of production lines. The device also has a detection range of up to 8 m, making it ideal for long-distance sensing applications. The sensor is also highly resistant to shock and vibration, making it an ideal choice for hostile environments.

The working principle of the KT5W-2N1316D infrared sensor is very simple. The device emits an infrared light beam from the light source mounted on one end of the prism. When an object obstructs the beam, the light is blocked and the receiver registers a signal. This signal is then used to trigger a switch or to send an alarm to the host system, depending on the setup. The device uses a single light source and receiver, hence the detection range is limited, but it is still capable of detecting small objects accurately and quickly.

In conclusion, the KT5W-2N1316D is a reliable and highly sensitive photoelectric sensor which is widely used in industrial applications. This device has a number of features which make it suitable for a variety of applications, such as material handling, safety protection or long-distance sensing. Its working principle is based on the detection of objects that obstruct a single infrared light beam, which is then used to trigger a switch or send an alarm.
