Optical sensors have long been used for industrial applications, and the WL12GC-3P2472A70 is no exception. Described as a "3000-Series Photoelectric Sensor," this particular model is used for contactless sensing through the purpose of photoelectrically detecting an object or material. This type of sensor is designed to detect objects that have either a high infrared reflectance value or the ability to emit visible or near-visible light. It is primarily used for applications such as material testing, machine automation and robotic assembly systems.

The WL12GC-3P2472A70 utilizes a three-terminal emitting LED to act as a light source, which is used to produce an infrared light beam that is modulated to create a pulsed infrared signal. A receiving signal is composed of a photovoltaic receiver which is integrated into the package with the LED. This receiving signal is modulated accordingly with the emitted signal and then the two signals are used for comparison. The device is able to discriminate between objects that are of a different infrared reflection level and objects that are not. The device is also able to measure distances up to 6 mm and compare them to the stated values.

One of the most advantageous aspects of this optical sensor is its versatility. The industrial applications in which it is used are incredibly varied, and can include such diverse areas as: material testing, material handling, machine automation, optical sorting, and packaging. Additionally, the wide operational voltage range of WL12GC-3P2472A70 allows it to be successfully used in a variety of environments. This ranges from the standard industrial environment to those requiring extremely harsh heat conditions, or with extreme vibration levels. As such, the WL12GC-3P2472A70 is an excellent choice for those requiring an extremely reliable and durable optical sensor.

The operation principle of the WL12GC-3P2472A70 is fairly simple. It uses an infrared LED to emit light, which has a wavelength between 780 and 860 nanometers. This infrared light is then modulated to create a pulsed infrared signal. The emitted signal is then received by the photovoltaic receiver integrated into the housing. The received signal is compared with the emitted signal and the unit is able to “listen” for objects at either a high or low reflection level, depending on the programmed options. Once the object is detected, a digital output signal is generated, which can ultimately trigger the appropriate action.

The WL12GC-3P2472A70 is a robust and reliable optical sensor capable of withstanding harsh environments while delivering a reliable performance. It is extremely versatile and can be used for a variety of applications. In addition, the device is capable of measuring distances up to 6mm with great accuracy, making it invaluable in industrial applications such as material testing, material handling, machine automation, optical sorting, and packaging.
