Optical Sensors - Photointerrupters - Slot Type - Logic Output has revolutionised the use of optical sensing technologies in industries across the world. M18-LP1600-A-M is an example of this kind of device, which is characterised by its high sensitivity, fast response time and very low power consumption. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of M18-LP1600-A-M.

Application Field

M18-LP1600-A-M is mainly used in printing industry, machine vision systems, retail point of sales systems, door and window security systems, and factory automation systems. This device provides both reliable detection of paper movement and accurate speed measurements, making it ideal for applications like paper alignment and counting. It is also suitable for applications like presence detection, which require fast response times. The device also offers superior flexibility for the user, as it can be programmed to output a number of signals, such as start/stop, trigger, count, rising/falling edge, etc. Additionally, it is compact, providing for easy integration into existing systems.

Working Principle

M18-LP1600-A-M utilizes active suppression technology, which helps minimize the impact of ambient light interference. The M18-LP1600-A-M consists of two parts, the receiver and the emitter. The device is activated when a light beam is interrupted, for example when paper passes through the two parts. This interruption creates an output signal and generates a current. When the light beam is broken, the current in receiver increases rapidly, followed by the production of voltage at the output terminal. The change in voltage is registered and translated into an output signal.

M18-LP1600-A-M is capable of detecting objects and edges accurately under high speed performance. The device has excellent repeatability, meaning that it produces same output signals under similar environmental conditions. This means that the device’s response time is not affected by ambient light, dust or other parameters. The device also offers strong life expectancy, enabling it to be used for years without any issues.

In summary, M18-LP1600-A-M is an example of an optical sensor from the category of Photointerrupters – Slot Type – Logic Output. This device is used for applications like printing, machine vision, door/window security, retail POS, and factory automation, due to its high sensitivity, fast response time, and low power consumption. The device is activated when an object passes through the light beam and has excellent repeatability and life expectancy.
