Optical Sensors - Photointerrupters - Slot Type - Logic Output

The M18-LP0900-R-P-J is an optical sensor ideal for detecting objects, positions and movements in a variety of light sources and applications. It’s a Photointerrupter with Slot Type and Logic Output, the special feature of which is its ability to detect objects or motion patterns for use in smaller scale industrial and commercial applications.

Operating Principle

The M18-LP0900-R-P-J is made up of an emitter (an infrared LED) and an detector (an integrated photo detector). The LED produces an infrared light beam and the detector measures the amount of light received. When any object placed in the light path interrupts it, the sensor detects this and sends a signal to a logic output circuit.

Application Field

The M18-LP0900-R-P-J is most often used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, including machine control, automation, security, medical, positioning and counting. It is typically used in applications where detection of objects and motion patterns is required in a limited area.In industrial applications, the sensor can be used to detect the presence of objects, machine movement or vibration, or to detect changes in the position of an object. It can also be used to detect the movement of a conveyor belt or the amplitude of vibration caused by machinery or other equipment.In commercial applications, the sensor can be used to detect the presence of people, pets, and vehicles in restricted areas or to count the number of people and animals entering or leaving a restricted area.

Advantages and Limitations

The main advantages of using the M18-LP0900-R-P-J are its compact size and its ability to detect objects and motion patterns in a limited area. It is also efficient in detecting small objects, as small as 0.1mm, and it is reliable, easy to use and fast to respond.However, the sensor has some limitations. It requires a strong light source for accurate detection, and it can be affected by dust or dirt in the detection area. Additionally, the response of the sensor’s output signal may be affected by ambient light.

Conclusion

The M18-LP0900-R-P-J is an ideal optical sensor for detecting objects, positions and movements in a limited area. It is compact, reliable and easy to use, and can be used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. However, it requires a strong light source and may be affected by dust or dirt in the detection area.
