Motion Sensors - Optical

The EKMB1106113 is an optical motion sensor that detects motion via a emitted beam of light. It records the amount of light reflected and sends a signal to indicate either a motion or lack of motion. The sensors can be used for detecting a wide range of motion, from an object moving in a straight line to a complex pattern of motion.

Application Field

The EKMB1106113 is commonly used in consumer electronics, automotive, security, and industrial automation applications. Primarily, this motion sensor is used to detect if a person or an object is moving in a particular area. This type of motion sensor can be used for applications such as automated door closure, automatic light control, and object tracking for robotics. Additionally, this motion sensor can be used for detecting a range of movement types, from a single motion to complex patterns. These sensors can be used in applications such as detection of vehicle speed, security and access control, and smart building automation.

Working Principle

The EKMB1106113 sensor uses an emitter and receiver to detect motion. The emitter sends out an infrared light beam, and the receiver reads the amount of light reflected. If an object moving into the light’s path, reflects enough light onto the receiver, it triggers an electrical signal which indicates that motion has been detected. This information is then used to determine if the object is in the specified area or beyond. Additionally, the degree of light received from the object can be used to quantify the speed of the movement.

Conclusion

The EKMB1106113 is a highly versatile optical motion sensor that can be used for a variety of applications. It is an effective tool for detecting a wide variety of motion types and quantifying the speed of motion. This type of motion sensor is widely used in consumer electronics, automotive, security, and industrial automation. This sensor serves as an essential component for adding movement detection to automated systems and robots.
