SensoPart is expanding its family of miniature sensors with the launch of the new FT 25-RLAP time-of-flight sensor, combining precise distance measurement up to 1.5 meters with a compact, space-saving design. Built for demanding industrial environments, the FT 25-RLAP offers a powerful set of features including analog output, IO-Link communication, and exceptional background suppression - all in a housing measuring just 34 x 20 x 12 mm.
Precision Even in Challenging Environments
Using proven time-of-flight (ToF) technology, the FT 25-RLAP accurately measures distances regardless of the object’s shape, color, or surface finish. Even reflective vests, flashing signal lights, or shiny metal backgrounds won’t interfere with its performance. The result is consistent, reliable measurement data that enhances process stability in automation systems.
Built-In Intelligence for Maximum Flexibility
The FT 25-RLAP includes both an analog output and a switching output, which can be configured independently using the integrated pushbutton. The analog output is scalable between 1–10 V using two teach points, while advanced setup and diagnostics are available through the latest IOLink specification (v1.1.4).
Other smart features include:
- Window mode to mask out irrelevant distance ranges
- Offset teach to set new reference points for quick reconfiguration
These functions make the FT 25-RLAP a highly adaptable solution for changing application needs.
Compact Design, Easy Integration
SensoPart has successfully packed advanced time-of-flight technology into an ultra-compact housing—measuring just 34 x 20 x 12 mm. This miniature size makes it easy to install the sensor in tight spaces or compact machine layouts. A clearly visible, high-precision light spot simplifies alignment during setup, while its Class 1 laser rating ensures safe operation without the need for additional protective measures.
Future-Ready with the Latest IO-Link Technology
Alongside its analog and switching outputs, the FT 25-RLAP features an IO-Link interface compliant with the latest 1.1.4 specification. This ensures seamless integration into today’s automation environments and unlocks advanced configuration, diagnostics, and monitoring capabilities—supporting smarter process control and predictive maintenance.
Ideal for a Wide Range of Industrial Applications
Whether in logistics, robotics, or automated manufacturing, the FT 25-RLAP offers reliable performance in critical tasks such as:
- Positioning containers, boxes, and totes in AS/RS and intralogistics systems
- Object detection and part localization in robotic gripping and picking
- Precise alignment and distance control in assembly and handling systems
- Reliable measurement in automated packaging or automotive production
The FT 25-RLAP is the ideal solution wherever space is limited and precision is essential.
