EE-SX4070 Overview

The EE-SX4070 is a type of optical sensor for detecting objects. It is part of the rising family of optoelectronic components, bolstered by advances in LED technologies and improvements in general lighting. This type of sensor belongs to the Photointerrupters category and is a Slot Type with Logic Output.

The Application Field of EE-SX4070

The EE-SX4070 is often used in various automated and semi-automated systems for sensing objects. As it is a slot type, it is able to detect presence and absence of objects, as well as when the objects are in a particular position. In order to detect an object, the EE-SX4070 relies on an infrared light beam which it projects and then detects when changes in the reflected beam occur. It is thus a key component of automated production lines, where it is used for detecting when objects move along the production line, in industrial robots, for detecting when it needs to be recharged, and in material sorting machines, for determining how to group different objects. It has these applications due to its low power consumption, low price tags, small size and excellent visibility, which make it versatile enough to be be used in a variety of environments.

The Working Principle of EE-SX4070

The EE-SX4070 consists of two parts, an Emitter and a Receiver. The Emitter is composed of an Infrared LED which transmits light and a focusing lens to concentrate the beam. The Receiver is composed of a light receiving element and a filter to weed out interference from other Infrared sources.When an object is in front of the Emitter, the emitted Infrared beam is reflected back to the Receiver, indicating the presence of an object. When the object is absent or out of the position, the beam is not reflected and the output of the EE-SX4070 is therefore 0V.This pulse is then passed on to an external circuit which can trigger another process based on the presence or absence of the object.

Conclusion

The EE-SX4070 is a versatile and powerful optical sensor which can be used for a variety of tasks. Owing to its small size, low power consumption, good visibility and low price, it is an ideal component for automated and semi-automated production lines and industrial robots. With its working principle of detecting the presence of objects by using an infrared light beam and its ease of wiring, the EE-SX4070 is a reliable component that can be used for a variety of applications.
