Optical Sensors - Photoelectric, Industrial

Optical sensors have long been used in a variety of industries and as a critical tool in industrial and consumer technology. They use light as a sensing medium, relying on optical technologies to detect, measure, or sense an object or event. These sensors measure different parameters, such as light intensity, distance, angle, color, size, presence, temperature, and more. One such example of an optical sensor is the KTM-MB31112P, which combines the latest optical technology and precise optics design to provide an industrial solution for photoelectric sensing.

KTM-MB31112P Design and Functionality

The KTM-MB31112P is a photoelectric sensor with a compact housing and built-in amplifier. It uses an infrared light source to detect the presence of objects and can detect objects within 0.4mm of the sensing surface. It has a built-in amplifier with PLC capability and is capable of providing high precision and high speed response. The sensor is capable of detecting objects with a size range from 0.1mm to 10 mm.

KTM-MB31112P Application Field and Working Principle

The KTM-MB31112P is primarily used in industrial settings such as in factory automation, packaging, and sorting applications. It is often used in combination with a mechanical or electro-mechanical device, such as robotic arms or conveyors, to detect objects in the device’s input area and direct the movement or output of the device. Its primary use is for object detection, but it can also be used for other applications, such as light intensity measurement.

The sensor works on the principle of light reflection. A light source is used to project light onto an object. When an object is detected, the light is reflected off the object and detected by the sensor. The sensor then sends a signal to the control device to change its output or direction.

Conclusion

The KTM-MB31112P optical sensor is an ideal choice for industrial environments, providing a reliable and accurate solution for sensing small objects. With its built-in amplifier and PLC capability, it is capable of providing high precision and high speed response. This is an effective means of providing accurate data with minimal effort, for use in factory automation, packaging, and sorting applications.
