Carrollton, Tex. — TT electronics OPTEK Technology has developed a reflective object sensor for detection of diffuse materials. The OPB609 series devices with three different lead options consists of ...

Developed specifically for the detection of diffuse materials, OPB609 series reflective-object sensors are unfocused, suiting them for detection of paper, labels, or any material with a matte finish.

The new ODT3CL1-2M laser diffuse sensor from Leuze extends the company’s range of 3C series distance sensors. Time-of-flight technology allows an operating range of up to 2m for the switching and ...

Leuze is expanding its range of dynamic reference diffuse sensors with the DRT 25C.R container sensor. These sensors are based on the innovative CAT technology (Contrast Adaptive Teach), which enables ...

In industrial automation, sensors are not just accessories, they are critical components that directly affect machine performance, operator safety and production efficiency. A poorly selected sensor ...

The CLI700 reflective object sensor consists of an 880-nm aluminum-gallium-arsenide (AlGaAs) infrared emitter and an npn, buffered, open-collector IC. Both are mounted on a custom, four-leaded TO-72 ...

Leuze has introduced a broad range of stainless steel optical detectors for the food industry. “The devices are designed for reliable operation in wet areas and during intensive cleaning processes and ...

Simply put, sensors are the eyes and ears of industrial automation. Regardless of the application, automation is simply not possible in today’s manufacturing process without sensors. There are many ...

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 ...

Sprint-Star X1TA reflection sensors use lightbeam reflection time to measure distances of up to 100 m. Applications include position detection for electrical overhead conveyors, precision fill-level ...
