Optical Sensors - Photoelectric, Industrial

Optical sensors are a type of sensor that utilize optical components such as lenses, mirrors, or filters to measure changes in light. The 70156-2719 optical sensor is a popular type of photoelectric sensor used in industrial applications. The sensor is designed to detect, analyze, and respond to changes in light intensity.

Design Concept

The 70156-2719 optical sensor is a rugged, IP67-rated device designed for industrial applications. It features an epoxy-filled housing with an angular mounting bracket to provide protection from both dust and water. The sensor consists of a light source, detectors, and an output module. The light source is typically an LED or laser diode, while the detectors are typically photo-sensitive diodes, known as photodiodes.

Working Principle

The 70156-2719 optical sensor works by emitting a light beam from the light source and detecting changes in the reflected beam with the photodiodes. When the beam is interrupted, or its intensity changes, the photodiodes generate a current that is converted into a voltage. This voltage is then routed to the output module, where it is used to control an action, such as switching a device on or off.

Application Field

The 70156-2719 optical sensor is used in a range of industrial applications, due to its rugged construction, its ability to detect changes in light intensity, and its compatibility with a wide range of devices. It is commonly used in automation systems to detect the presence of objects, in security systems to detect intruders, and in robotics to monitor the state of the environment. It can also be used in inspection systems to detect defects in objects.

Conclusion

The 70156-2719 optical sensor is a robust, IP67-rated industrial sensor designed to detect, analyze, and respond to changes in light intensity. It is compatible with a wide range of devices and can be used in a range of applications, from automation systems to security systems and robotics.
