EE-SX3239-P2

Introduction

The EE-SX3239-P2 is an optical sensor that is part of a group of optical sensors known as Photointerrupters, specifically Slot Type with Logic Output, which is used to detect the presence of an object. Essentially, the EE-SX3239-P2 will emit an infrared light and detect if the emitted light is interrupted by any electronic device or object. If the emitted light is blocked, the output signal from the EE-SX3239-P2 changes state from high to low.

Working Principle

The underlying technology behind optical sensors is photoelectric technology. The EE-SX3239-P2 utilizes an infrared light emitting diode (LED) and a phototransistor. The infrared LED emits light which is then converted into an electric current when it passes through a phototransistor. Whenever the infrared light is interrupted by any object or device, the current stops and the output of the EE-SX3239-P2 changes state from high to low.

The optics of the EE-SX3239-P2 are designed in a unique way so that the infrared light is not affected by ambient light and the sensing range is suitable for most applications. It is designed to be highly reliable, offering a long life of up to 10 million cycles and a wide operating temperature range of – 10°C to +45°C.

Application Field

The EE-SX3239-P2 is used in a wide range of applications, such as industrial automation and control, as well as mechanical engineering. It can be used to detect the presence of an object such as a wheel, an arm, a conveyor belt, or any other object. Additionally, it can also be used to detect obstacles in front of and behind the device.

The EE-SX3239-P2 can be used in machines, robots, and automated systems to detect movement. It can be used to automatically start or stop a motor, counting for assemblies, and process control, or even to detect when products or assembly parts have left or are entering a particular assembly line. It is also suitable for monitoring production control lines, automating industrial equipment, and replacing complex, expensive mechanical switches.

The EE-SX3239-P2 is an ideal solution for monitoring the conveyor and picking positions in parts assembly and sorting machines, as well as detecting objects in molding, welding, and painting machines.

Conclusion

The EE-SX3239-P2 is an extremely reliable optical sensor that meets the requirements of the most demanding applications. It is used in a wide range of industrial applications, from automation control to mechanical engineering, where it is used to detect the presence of an object. Thanks to its high reliability, long life cycle, and wide operating temperature range, it can be used in a variety of industries.
