70156-4081

Optical sensors, such as photoelectric, industrial, and 70156-4081, have been increasingly used in automated and semiconductor systems in recent times. Generally speaking, they employ light rays or infrared radiation to detect or measure physical characteristics such as position, vibration, pressure, or distance. This article will explain the application field and working principle of the 70156-4081 optical sensor.

The 70156-4081 optical sensor from Acuity Brands is a state-of-the-art detection and measurement system based on infrared light technology. For industrial applications, it can be used for steel and aluminum processing, robotic welding, production line automation, and more. Furthermore, it can monitor non-metallic objects, such as fuel oil tanks, railroad tracks, or conveyor belts. The system is designed for fast and reliable operation, with a detection range of up to 11 feet and a resolution of 0.3 inches. The device operates at temperatures between -40°F and 150°F, making it suitable for small and large scale industrial processes.

The working principle of the 70156-4081 optical sensor is based on the Photoelectric Effect. The system uses an infrared LED transmitter and receiver pair to detect the presence or absence of objects. When an object is detected, the transmitter sends out an infrared beam of light which is reflected back to the receiver from the object. The receiver responds to the beam and activates a relay or other control circuitry to indicate the presence or absence of the object. This principle is applied to, for example, automated assembly lines, where the infrared beam will stop the conveyor line when it detects an obstacle.

The 70156-4081 optical sensor is designed to be highly reliable and to withstand harsh environmental conditions. It is IP66 rated for dust and water protection, and is corrosion resistant for long-term use in outdoor or industrial settings. Furthermore, the system is designed with an internal lens to allow greater flexibility when mounting. This makes it ideal for applications such as automotive presses, web offset printing, door and gate access control, and robotic welding.

In summary, the 70156-4081 optical sensor is a reliable and versatile device for industrial and automated applications. It is based on the Photoelectric Effect and uses an infrared LED transmitter-receiver pair to detect the presence or absence of objects. Its features such as dust and water protection, corrosion resistance, and internal lens make it suitable for a wide range of applications. With its state-of-the-art design, 70156-4081 is a dependable and cost-effective solution when it comes to automated detection and measurement.
