A typical reflective object sensor consists of an infrared light emitter diode (IRED) and an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted side-by-side on parallel axes in a compact black plastic housing. The ...

Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...

Promising an enhanced sensing range in space-constrained applications, the OPB733TR reflective object sensor measures 0.3" x 0.16" with a PCB-mounted profile of 0.114". The component incorporates a ...

The reflective properties of plastic make it a notorious offender in this regard. The problem even extends to those objects covered in shrink wrap. Polarizing filters help block false readings from ...

What's behind the target can make a tremendous difference in how well reflective sensors do their job. Consider a photoelectric sensor operating in simple diffused mode (i.e., as a proximity sensor).

Hamamatsu Photonics has recently developed a new reflective sensor named P13567-02CT. The sensor is designed to work with near-infrared/proximity types and is packaged in a compact size. It contains ...

Company Announcement - The Leuze RK46C-VarOS retro-reflective photoelectric sensor is capable of detecting objects over an operating range of 0.4 to 5.2 metres, with a light band width of 45 to 50 mm.
