Analogue and digital output in one
sensor
The FT20RA from Sensopart combines the use of a distance-proportional analogue output signal (0-10V) with the advantages of a digital PNP or NPN switching window.
The FT20RA from Sensopart combines the use of a distance-proportional analogue output signal (0-10V) with the advantages of a digital PNP or NPN switching window, which is adjustable by teach-in Measuring just 32 x 12 x 20mm, the sensor comes with both amplifiers onboard, and is supplied ready for direct connection

Extra range for colour sensor
The new F50 colour sensor from Sensopart combines a white LED with a unique patented optical system.
A simple key function teaches a switching window for the digital output.
This output is only activated if an object is within the selected window.
This makes the unit a highly effective background and foreground suppression sensor.
A precise and highly visible light spot makes adjustment easy.
Full electronic PSD circuitry means changes of colour or surface of the objects do not influence the switching behaviour.
Typical applications are control tasks where a distance-proportional output signal is used, and detection tasks where the position or presence of objects within a certain area is to be monitored.
For example, cap present, target size, product present and small distance measuring applications.
By integrating background and foreground suppression in one sensor, a clear cost reduction for the automation of production processes industries can be expected.
The use of a threshold control is not required, as the switching status is integrated in the sensor.
The working area is between 20 and 80mm.
