M18-LP1600-A-M-PN

Optical Sensors - Photointerrupters - Slot Type - Logic Output are a type of optical device used to detect objects that have interrupting or passing events. They are ideal for applications that require precise optical sensing and reliable switching. The M18-LP1600-A-M-PN is an example of this type of device. It is a low power, standard type, logic output photointerrupter that utilizes an LED and light-sensitive receiver in a slot type configuration.

The working principle of the M18-LP1600-A-M-PN is based on the emitting and receiving of light. When an object breaks the direct light line between the LED and the light receiver, the output changes from logic high to low, indicating the object has been detected. This information can then be used to trigger a given action. A physical gap between the LED and light receiver must be present in order for the device to be fully functional.

The main application field of the M18-LP1600-A-M-PN is the detection of objects from a gap of up to 1600 millimeters. This device is most commonly used in automation and safety control. For example, it is often used to detect the presence of a switch or circuit breaker, either manual or automated. Also, it can be used to detect the presence of metal objects or to provide contactless closure for a variety of applications.

In addition, the M18-LP1600-A-M-PN is also suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Its low power requirement makes it an ideal choice in battery-powered applications. Furthermore, its wide operating temperature range from -40 to +85°C makes the device suitable for use in extreme temperature conditions. Finally, it is also available in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit unique situations.

The M18-LP1600-A-M-PN is a versatile, compact, and easy-to-use photointerrupter that is ideal for a variety of applications that require reliable optical sensing and switching. It can be used in a variety of situations, from light and heavy duty to indoor and outdoor applications, and is designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures. Its low power requirement and robust construction make it a great option for applications that require precise sensing and reliable switching.
