2LP117

2LP117 Application Field and Working Principle

The 2LP117 is a special type of optical level sensor, specifically designed for use as an optical displacement / distance detector in various applications. 2LP117 is equipped with active optical components that are sensitive to the changes in distances (in mm) when two objects are in close proximity. It can instantly detect even the slightest movements of its target object. This makes it ideal for use in machine automation, industrial automation, and absolute measurement and control.

The 2LP117 can measure distances up to 1mm and has a detect operation which is based on the principles of reflection. It consists of a reflector on the back of the sensor and a photo detector which together detect the changes in distances. When light is reflected back, the 2LP117 detects this change and will output pulse signals, thereby indicating the exact location of its target object. The accuracy range for this type of sensor is within ±0.02 mm.

The principle of operation is rather simple and easily understood. A pulse signal is generated in response to changes in the detected distance between the target object and the reflector. This pulse signal is then sent to a receiving unit. Depending on the application, the pulse signals can be used to control the position of the target object or to make an alarm.

Another important benefit of the 2LP117 is its ability to measure over long distances. This makes it ideal for applications such as altitude measurement, where long distances need to be measured quickly and accurately. It is also suitable for monitoring the position of objects in a manufacturing process, which require precision and accuracy.

The 2LP117 is quite versatile and easy to use. It can be mounted in any direction and can be connected to either an analog or digital interface. This sensor can be used in a number of different applications and is capable of detecting even the slightest of changes in distances. This makes it ideal for applications such as robot assembly lines, automotive systems, ABS, and active control systems.

In summary, the 2LP117 is an extremely versatile optical level sensor which can be used in a variety of different applications. It is capable of detecting distances as short as 1mm and can be interfaced with either an analog or digital interface. It is also suitable for use in altitude measurement, long distance measurement, and precision and accuracy monitoring.
