WTF12-3P1131

The WTF12-3P1131 is an optical sensor of the Photoelectric, Industrial category. It is used to detect objects that have a reflection or transmission characteristics in the visible and near infrared spectral ranges.

When a light beam from an infrared source is projected through an optical system onto the surface of the object it is seeking to monitor, it either reflects or passes through the object, depending on the reflective and transmissive properties of the object. When this occurs, the sensor detects the signal’s presence and generates a response.

The WTF12-3P1131 can be used to detect the presence and absence of objects, ranging in size from very small particles, such as bacteria, to larger objects, such as cars, animals, and people. Its sensitivity and versatility makes it ideal for a wide variety of applications, including industrial automation, process control, and safety systems.

The WTF12-3P1131 has several operating modes, including a single-output and a multiple-output configuration. In single-output mode, the sensor sends out one signal when detecting the presence of an object, and another signal when detecting its absence, allowing it to be used to detect and monitor the presence and absence of a single object or a group of objects. Its multiple-output mode enables the sensor to output a signal for up to eight different reflective or transmissive properties. This allows for more sophisticated applications, such as monitoring the presence of objects with any one of a wide range of reflection and transmission characteristics.

The WTF12-3P1131 can also be configured to detect objects in any one of several predefined distances. This makes it particularly useful in industrial automation systems, where it can be used to monitor the presence or absence of an object over a wide range of distances, depending on the application. As well, its robust design, which allows for a wide operability temperature range, as well as IP67 standard housing, ensures a long and reliable service life.

In summary, the WTF12-3P1131 is an optical sensor of the Photoelectric, Industrial category, which is used to detect objects with various characteristics at a wide range of distances. With its multiple output modes, adjustable operational range, and robust design, it is ideal for a variety of applications, including industrial automation, process control, and safety systems.
