Working Principle

The working principle of the WSPEM208LWO-D-BK is based on the principle of an inductance electromagnetic field. This principle, also known as inductive proximity sensing, utilizes an electrical coil, known as the "search and find" coil, to detect the presence of a metal object. When a metal object is moved within the range of the electrical coil, a voltage signal is generated, which is then amplified and sent to the circuit to produce a signal for switching or controlling operations.

The search and find coil contains a number of turns of wire that form a spiral inductor. As a metal object approaches the inductor, the inductance of the coil changes, which results in a voltage being generated across the terminals of the coil. This voltage is then amplified and transferred to the circuit, allowing the circuit to carry out a switching or controlling operation.

The working range of the WSPEM208LWO-D-BK is highly adjustable, depending on the application requirements. It can be adjusted from 1mm to 2 meters, allowing it to handle a variety of sensing needs. Additionally, the sensitivity of the sensor is adjustable as well. This allows it to be adjusted for applications that require very specific detection such as detecting small objects, or objects with irregular shapes.

Conclusion

The WSPEM208LWO-D-BK is a perfect solution for industrial automation, material handling, process control, and factory automation applications. This robust and well-designed proximity sensor offers a wide sensing range, reliable operation in harsh environments, adjustable working ranges, and adjustable sensitivity. In short, the WSPEM208LWO-D-BK offers the precision and reliability that is required for most applications.
