Optical Sensors are extremely useful components that are implemented in a wide range of applications. The WTB4S-3N1162V is a type of photoelectric optical sensor that is intended for industrial applications. This article will discuss the application fields and working principle behind this device.

Application Fields

The WTB4S-3N1162V optical sensor is typically used in industrial automation systems, where its fast and accurate detection capabilities are essential. It is used for detecting objects, such as bare switches, printed circuit boards, paper objects, and other objects at a distance of up to 1.5 meters (5 feet). Additionally, it can be used for detecting color and position changes, making it useful in robotic sorting systems. Other applications include level monitoring systems for liquids, solids and powder, as well as traffic control systems and security systems.

Working Principle

The WTB4S-3N1162V optical sensor works on what is known as a passive array principle. This means that it utilizes a combination of sensing elements that are wired together to detect objects or changes. One of the advantages to using this type of sensor is that it can be used to detect a wide variety of object types, including small and large objects.

The sensor has two elements, an infrared transmitter and a receive array. The transmitter sends out an inflight beam that is detected by the receive array. When an object enters the line of sight of the sensor, it will interrupt the receiver and send a signal to the control system. This signal can then be used to activate a control system or perform a task.

The array element is made up of an IR transmitter and four receive elements. This array is mounted on a printed circuit board and is connected to a power supply and signal conditioning circuit that can be programmed to react to a variety of interrupt signals.

The WTB4S-3N1162V is a high-performance device that is designed for use in industrial applications. It offers great accuracy and speed in detecting objects and changes, making it ideal for robotic sorting systems and level monitoring systems. Additionally, it is very easy to install and program, making it a great choice for a wide variety of industrial applications.
