LA-510D

The LA-510D is a slot type logic output photointerrupter developed for reliable, accurate, and cost-effective sensing applications. It is designed to detect the presence or absence of an object passing through the slot using the principle of light interruption. It can be used with a wide range of objects and, when mounted properly, can detect the passage of the object within a wide range of wall thicknesses. This sensor is ideal for applications requiring reliable detection of objects such as mail trays, packages, and other items passing through a slot in a conveyor system.

The LA-510D consists of two parts: a transmitter element and a receiver element. The transmitter element emits light that is received by the receiver element. The two elements are connected with a slot of adjustable size and shape. The output logic of the LA-510D is reversible. When an object interrupts the light between the transmitter and receiver, the output logic is flipped to the opposite polarity. When the object passes the slot, the output logic is flipped back to its initial state.

The LA-510D is compact and easy to set up. It has an adjustable slot size, allowing for use with objects of varying size, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is designed with a durable construction and is resistant to dust and moisture. Due to its reliable output, no additional error processing circuitry is required, which makes it an ideal choice for cost-sensitive applications.

The LA-510D has a number of advantages, such as its ability to detect items as small as 0.1mm, its high response rate of 1mm/sec, and its long sensing range of 0.4mm to 2.0mm. In addition, the LA-510D has an operating voltage range of 4.5V to 24V, making it suitable for a wide variety of different power supply solutions. The LA-510D is also resistant to EMI/RFI noise, meaning it can be used in noisy environments without the need for additional filtering.

In terms of applications, the LA-510D can be used for presence/absence detection, object width measurement, and slot recognition in various systems and machines such as pick and place machines, conveyor systems, and packaging systems. Its adjustable slot size makes it suitable for a wide range of objects, from tiny parts and small packages to larger items like mail trays or pallets.

Overall, the LA-510D is an accurate, reliable, and cost-effective photointerrupter designed to detect the presence or absence of objects within a wide range of wall thicknesses. It features a durable construction, a wide range of operating voltages, an adjustable slot size, and a high response rate. These features make it ideal for a variety of presence detection and object measurement applications in industrial and commercial systems.
