Optical Sensors - Photoelectric, Industrial

Optical sensors are the devices used to detect and respond to light and other visible electromagnetic radiation. The 70156-4029 is a general-purpose industrial optical photoelectric sensor made by American manufacturer AutomationDirect. This device can detect objects that give off visible light and communicate with various systems and equipment, helping to automate processes in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. The 70156-4029 is a non-programmable sensor, meaning it cannot be configured to detect different levels of light emitted from different objects; however, it is still versatile and often used in situations where accuracy and reliability are important.

The 70156-4029 is equipped with a CDS transistor detector operating at a wavelength of 650nm. This allows the sensor to accurately detect the presence of light sources from small distances, ranging from 4mm to as far as 10 meters away. The sensor is designed to operate at temperatures from -20 to 80°C, and the durable plastic housing makes it resistant to shocks and vibrations. It is also capable of running on either AC or DC voltage supplies.

The output of the 70156-4029 photoelectric sensor is a simple “on/off” function. When the sensor detects the presence of a light source, it sends out power to the associated device or system. This power can be either an AC or DC voltage signal, depending on the type of output selected. The 70156-4029 is a versatile, reliable and cost-effective sensor, making it ideal for several different applications.

The 70156-4029 photoelectric sensor is primarily used in industrial applications. It can be used for automated processes such as detecting objects in production lines, measuring distances between objects and machines, as well as controlling various systems and equipment. The sensor can also be used for safety purposes, such as detecting the presence of personnel in hazardous areas or triggering emergency shut-off mechanisms if a dangerous situation is detected.

In addition to industrial applications, the 70156-4029 photoelectric sensor is also used in commercial settings. It can be used in security systems to detect the presence of people in areas where surveillance cameras cannot be placed. The sensor can also be used to detect the presence of vehicles in parking garages and proximity sensors at cash registers.

In summary, the 70156-4029 photoelectric sensor is an industrial-grade, non-programmable device that is designed to detect visible light sources and provide power to associated equipment or systems. The sensor is accessible, reliable and durable, making it suitable for various applications in both industrial and commercial settings.
