Introduction

The LTH-306-08 is an optical slot type photointerrupter with transistor output. It is used in an expanding range of industrial, commercial and consumer applications including high-speed counter and position detection, linear encoder applications, motor speed detection, vending machine operation, and conveyor and packaging machinery. This photointerrupter has excellent environmental resistance due to its sturdy plastic body and plastic lens assembly.

Features

The LTH-306-08 optical slot type photointerrupter contains a number of features that make it an ideal choice for many applications. Its compact design makes it easy to install in tight spaces. The photointerrupter also offers high reliability and accuracy with its 4 mA current output when the object enters the sensitive zone. The response time of this device is as fast as 100 μs, resulting in a greater accuracy in critical applications. It also has an LED indicator to confirm that the sensing zone is operational.

Applications

The LTH-306-08 has a multitude of different applications. It is used by industrial automation and robotics applications to detect and count objects as well as to measure distances. It is also used in the automotive industry for detecting speed and position. In the home and office, it can be used to detect the opening and closing of a door or window. This device can be found in vending machines and escalators, helping to detect and control objects. In consumer electronics, it can be used to detect movement or as a security system trigger.

Working Principle

The working principle of the LTH-306-08 slot type photointerrupter is based on optical detection. When an object enters the detection zone, a light beam is interrupted leading to the activation of the device outputs. The device consists of a Light Emitting Diode (LED), a light sensing transistor and a small plastic sensing slot. The LED is directed towards the slot which houses the light sensing transistor. When an object passes through the slot, the transistor is activated and the current output of the device changes. This change is then detected and can be used to actuate the outputs of the device.

Conclusion

The LTH-306-08 is a slot type photointerrupter that offers high reliability and accuracy in a compact design. It is perfect for a variety of applications such as motor speed detection, vending machine operation, and distance measurement. It uses optical detection to sense an object entering its sensing zone and activating its outputs. This makes it ideal for applications such as industrial automation and robotics, automotive, home and office, vending machines, and consumer electronics.
