Optical sensors are increasingly becoming an integral part of the modern technological landscape providing many different functional efficiencies. OMRON’s LA-305 is one of the most popular models on the market, offering an impressive range of features in a small and affordable package. This photointerrupter is of the slot type, has a single digital output, and is designed for use in areas requiring high-speed operation. This article will explain the main features and applications of the LA-305 as well as the working principles underlying its operation.

Description

The LA-305 is a standard size slot type photointerrupter designed for use in a wide variety of electronic and industrial operations. It measures only 11.2 x 15.2 x 4.7 mm making it small enough to fit almost any available space. The output is just one digital signal, either high or low depending on the obstruction of the detection aperture. This output signal can be used to intuitively control processes from start to finish.

Application Field

The LA-305 is suitable for most applications requiring accurate detection of a wide range of objects. It\'s most commonly used in machinery with automated movement, such as automatic door controllers and camera shutter controls. It can also be used in combination with a PLC (programmable logic controller) for industrial purposes, as the integrated logic output allows for fine-tuned control over the sequence of operations. Furthermore, it can be used with OMRON Motion Controllers which provide an integrated interface for controlling the speed of motors and other components.

Working Principle

The LA-305 works by emitting an infrared beam which is detected by a receiver when objects pass through the detection aperture. The receiver then sends an electronic signal to the logic output, which in turn controls the apparatus connected to it. This signal can then be used to activate, deactivate, or control the speed of the connected machinery. The detection range of the LA-305 can be adjusted by varying the width of the detection aperture, allowing you to tailor it to the needs of your application.

Conclusion

The OMRON LA-305 is a robust and reliable photointerrupter with a wide range of applications. It is an ideal solution for controlling the speed of automated processes and machinery, with its single digital output providing an intuitive means of controlling the desired operation. Its small size and adjustable detection range make it suitable for use in almost any environment, and its long operational life makes it suitable for use in even the most demanding situations. With its wide range of features and applications, the LA-305 is an excellent choice for any application requiring optical sensing.
