LEUZE FT318B3/2N Safety Switch | 3/2 Ports, IP67 & M12 | Machine Guarding & Hazard Zone Compliance

Precise Optical Sensing

The LEUZE FT318B3/2N is a sensor with remarkable optical sensing capabilities. It operates on the through - beam principle, using a reliable light source, most likely an infrared LED. This allows it to accurately detect the presence or absence of objects within its sensing range. The sensing range, although not specified in the initial data, is designed to be suitable for various industrial applications. The focused light beam enables precise detection, even of small objects or those in close proximity. In manufacturing processes, it can be used to detect parts on conveyor belts, ensuring smooth production flow by signaling the presence or absence of components.

Electronically, the FT318B3/2N is engineered for stability. It typically operates on a supply voltage within the industrial standard range, probably around 10 - 30 V DC. The open - circuit current is maintained at a level that ensures efficient operation without consuming excessive power. Equipped with two digital switching outputs, it offers flexibility in control. These outputs can be configured according to the requirements of the industrial system it is integrated into. Additionally, it has built - in short - circuit protection, safeguarding it from electrical malfunctions and ensuring long - term reliable performance in industrial electrical environments.

The mechanical design of the FT318B3/2N emphasizes durability and adaptability. Its housing is constructed from robust materials, such as a durable plastic or metal alloy. This makes it resistant to vibrations and impacts commonly experienced in industrial settings. The sensor's dimensions are optimized for easy installation, whether it's being mounted on machinery or integrated into a production line. With an expected high - level IP protection rating, it can withstand dust and water, making it suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions. This durable and adaptable design ensures that the FT318B3/2N can perform consistently across a wide range of industrial applications.
