Introduction

The HOA6980-P55 is a photosensitive device that is placed between two strips. It is part of a system commonly known as Photointerrupters, which are used to detect objects and track movement. They are used as sensors in machine vision systems to detect mechanical motion in automation and robotics. This particular device is a Slot-Type Photointerrupter that has Logic Output, making it suitable for use in contactless switching.

Description

The HOA6980-P55 is a small optical module encased in a black plastic housing. It is designed to fit in between two strips with 1mm accuracy. The two strips are set a specific distance apart, and when something passes through the gap between them, the HOA6980-P55 detects it. The module works by using an infrared LED that transmits a beam of light between the two strips. When something breaks the beam, an internal photodiode detects the change in light and sends a signal to the output.

Since it is a Slot-Type Photointerrupter, it is best suited for short-range motion detection. The sensing range of the device depends on the distance between the strips, with a maximum distance of up to 2mm. It is also designed to operate at both DC and AC voltages, with a maximum working voltage of 5V.

Another key feature of the HOA6980-P55 is its Logic Output. This means that the output signal is a digital logic signal, which is typically a 0V or 5V signal dependent on whether the beam is broken or not. This makes it ideal for use in digital circuits as it can easily interface with microcontrollers and other digital logic devices.

Advantages

The HOA6980-P55 has many advantages compared to other types of photointerrupters. Firstly, its small size means that it can easily be installed in confined spaces, allowing for increased flexibility and accuracy in design. Secondly, its Logic Output reduces the need for additional signal processing, making it simpler to incorporate into existing systems. Finally, its low-voltage capability makes it suitable for use in battery-powered applications.

Applications

The HOA6980-P55 is ideal for use in various applications such as:

• Detection and counting of objects
• Position sensing
• Speed sensing
• Distance measuring
• Automated doors and windows
• Counterfeit detection systems
• Airport security systems
• Robotic/automation systems

Conclusion

The HOA6980-P55 is a Slot-Type Photointerrupter with a Logic Output, making it perfect for use in contactless switching and tracking of objects. It is small in size and is able to operate at both DC and AC voltages, which makes it suitable for a vast range of applications. Its precision and ease of installation also make it a reliable and cost-effective solution.
