70156-3091

Optical sensors are devices that detect physical signals using optical components such as light emitters, photosensitive material and light receivers. They are widely used in industrial and commercial applications, where the signals are often diffuse or long-range. The 70156-3091 is a kind of optical sensor which belongs to the category of photoelectric, industrial optical sensors. This sensor is designed for long-range, non-contact position and motion detection, providing both a positional and rotational output. Its working principle is based on the concept of the incident beam being interrupted by an object as it passes through an electromagnetic field.

The 70156-3091 optical sensor is made up of an emitter, a receiver, two lenses and an optical filter. The emitter is a light source that emits light waves. The light waves then pass through the lenses and optical filter which act as a ‘filter’ to strip out certain frequencies or colors of light. This filtered light then passes to the receiver where its presence or absence is detected by a photodetector. When the light waves are interrupted, the signal is sent to the controller indicating that an object has moved into the electromagnetic field.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of the 70156-3091 optical sensor, it is important to understand how it works. Its working principle is based on the concept of the incident beam being interrupted by an object as it passes through an electromagnetic field. A light source (emitter) sends out a steady stream of light waves. These light waves then pass through a lens and an optical filter which act as a ‘filter’ to strip out certain frequencies or colors of light. This filtered light then passes to the receiver where its presence or absence is detected by a photodetector. When the light waves are interrupted, the signal is sent to the controller indicating that an object has moved into the electromagnetic field.

The 70156-3091 optical sensor is designed for non-contact detection ranging from 0.5 to 60 meters. The sensor is ideal for long-distance detection, which can be utilized in applications such as industrial automation, robotics, retail, and medical applications. Its long-distance detection feature aids in maintaining the safety of personnel and equipment by providing a reliable detection method for machines operating in hazardous areas.

The 70156-3091 optical sensor offers many benefits such as superior sensitivity, superior repeatability, and robust application support for multiple protocols. In addition, the sensor offers a wide range of operating angles, from as small as 100 to as large as 320. This makes it ideal for a wide variety of industrial applications. The sensor is also designed for long-term operation, making it the ideal choice for many industrial applications.
