F3W-D Multi-Beam Area Sensor (Picking Sensor) F3W-D052A
OMRON — F3W-D Series
The F3W-D052A is a 5-beam multi-beam area sensor from OMRON, primarily marketed for detecting hand insertion/removal at pick-to-light-style picking stations, but hardware-wise a general-purpose multi-beam array comparable to Panasonic's NA2-N. It is offered with cable (F3W-D052A) or M12 connector (F3W-D052B) connection options.
Key Features
- 5-beam multi-beam detection array
- Primary use: hand-motion detection at pick-to-light picking stations
- Cable (F3W-D052A, 5 m) or M12 connector (F3W-D052B) connection options
- Compact vertical body suited to mounting on shelf/bin edges
- PNP/NPN output options (family-wide)
