Optical sensors are essential components for industrial automation. Photointerrupters are one type of optical sensors, and achieved success as very fast switching members of numerous critical systems. Among several kinds of photointerrupters, Slot Type serves a special position as both a sensor and actuator. Therefore, a better understanding of the logic output of Slot Type photointerrupters is critical.
HOA6960-N51 is a slot type photointerrupter with logic output, widely used in factory automation, motion controllers, instrumentation, industrial motor controls, office automation, and production testing equipment. The HOA6960-N51 works based on the TTL and gate input. When the horseshoe-shaped slot type is exposed to the infrared light source sent from the transmitter adjustable LED emitter, light will be reflected back to the SP head collector, allowing the logic output to change from low (logic 0) to high (logic 1), and vice versa. This high-frequency switching process is instantaneous.
The application field of HOA6960-N51 covers a wide range of industry. In factory automation, the slot type photointerrupters can work with microcomputers to detect, monitor, and control objects, for example, with a rotary clamp wheel which can detect steel wires or no wires. In the domain of motion control, the photointerrupters are also utilized to detect the position of linear or rotary motion, and protect the safety of people or machines in dangerous areas. In office automation, it offers a convenient and secure way to prevent paper jams or other difficulties. Finally, production testing equipment also utilizes the photointerrupters to test the size, dimension, and color on products.
To be specific, these are the key features of HOA6960-N51 photointerrupter with logic output:

• Very Fast Switching (instant response)
• Compact, Lightweight Package
• Low Power Consumption
• Excellent Optical Characteristics
• Wide Temperature and Humidity Range
• Wide Choice of Radiation Sources

Another key feature of the slot type photointerrupter, which distinguishes it from other types, is the useful working memory. The photointerrupter requires very little energy to hold the last reported value even after the light is removed. This unique feature can be used in emergency stop devices for safety purposes.
HOA6960-N51 photointerrupter is an ideal choice for an industrial environment due to its low power consumption, wide temperature, and humidity range. It offers an accurate logic switch signal in response to the detection of infrared radiation. In short, its application field and working principle makes HOA6960-N51 one of the most popularly used photointerrupters in industry automation.
