OPB200

Optical sensoring has been incredibly useful in numerous applications due to its non-contact nature which allows for easy operation with minimal maintenance and auto shut-off features. One such type of optical sensor is the OPB200, which is a slot type photointerupter that features a transistor output. This device is used in environments where precise optical detection of objects, either metal or plastic, is required, making it a great source of control for machinery and manufacturing operations.

The OPB200 photointerupter consists of an infrared transmitter and detection pair, with a slotted plastic housing that acts as the optical barrier between the two. When an object passes through the slot, the signal transmitted from the transmitter is interrupted and the resulting encoded output transistor turns on. The device is capable of detecting objects reflective surfaces and non-reflective surfaces, making it ideal for many applications.

The detection range of the OPB200 is between 30mm and 10000mm depending on the application, and the response time is between 5ms and 40ms depending on the objects size and reflective surface. Additionally, the device has a repeat accuracy of 0.05mm, meaning that it can reliably detect even minute objects with great precision. The OPB200 also has a wide operating temperature range of -25℃ to +85℃, making it suitable for use in both internal and external conditions.

The OPB200 is typically used in applications that require objects to be detected automatically, allowing the device to act as a sort of switch for the tasks that must be carried out. For example, in the manufacturing process, the transistor output of the photointerupter can be used to activate machinery when an object passes through the slot. Additionally, it is also useful in security systems for alarm and access control. This is due to its compact size and high precision detection, making it suitable for difficult to handle objects.

The OPB200 is a robust and reliable device, making it suitable for many applications in various industries. It provides precise detection even in the most challenging environments, making it a great choice for those who require an accurate and reliable optical detection solution. Overall, the OPB200 is a powerful and useful device, providing crucial optical detection functions for many types of applications.
