Optical Sensors - Photoelectric, Industrial

Optical sensors are commonly grouped into three distinct sensor types: photoelectric, industrial, and space-based optical sensors. The most popular type of optical sensor is the photoelectric sensor, which can detect the presence of an object at long distance intervals and can be used for many different applications. The industrial type of optical sensor is used mainly in industrial settings, where large areas need to be monitored for safety purposes. Space-based optical sensors are used to detect objects or materials in space. These types of sensors are commonly used in astronomy and also in military and defense applications.

70156-2337 Application Field and Working Principle

The 70156-2337 is a type of photoelectric sensor designed for applications in space. The sensor is equipped with an infrared (IR) LED which emits a signal of light, and a detector diode which receives the signal. The sensor is sensitive to the presence of nearby objects which have proper reflective characteristics. It is also equipped with two different work modes, proximity and reflective mode, which enable it to detect objects accurately in different settings.

In proximity mode, the 70156-2337 captures an image of the scene and analyses it to determine the presence of a reflection from objects with proper reflective characteristics. This data is used to accurately measure the distance between the sensor and the nearby object. In reflective mode, the sensor shines light across the surface of an object which is then reflected back to the sensor. The reflection is measured to accurately determine the distance between the sensor and the object.

The main features and advantages of the 70156-2337 optical sensor include its ability to detect diverse objects in space, as well as its high accuracy and versatility. The sensor is also very durable, as it is resistant to water, dust, and EMI radiation. Additionally, the sensor is easily configured to suit the application needs.

In conclusion, the 70156-2337 optical sensor is an excellent choice for space-based applications, as it is accurate, versatile, and highly durable. It is also easy to configure and is resistant to water, dust, and EMI radiation.
