It is a precision optical sensor that is designed for superior performance, and has high reliability and stability. Its robust construction provides reliable operation and protects against environmental conditions such as dust, shock, and vibration. The OPB360P51 has a long life expectancy, more than five million cycles, which makes it well suited for long-term applications. Additionally, it is capable of sensing a variety of different objects, including packages of various sizes.

Application Field

The OPB360P51 has a wide range of applications, and can be used in industries such as packaging, material handling, food processing, and automation. It is also an ideal choice for conveyor systems, where it can be used to detect the presence of an object. Additionally, it is suitable for use in areas where safety needs to be ensured, such as machines and industrial plants.

Working Principle

The OPB360P51 operates by detecting the presence or absence of an object passing between its emitter and receiver. When the object passes between the emitter and receiver, the signal is blocked, and the output of the transistor is switched from a low to a high level. This tensing output can then be used to operate an external circuit. When the object is no longer between the emitter and receiver, the signal is not blocked, and the transistor output is switched to a low-level state.

The unit is designed to provide reliable switching and sensing, even in cases of varying ambient light conditions. It also features a compact design and narrow slot-type configuration, allowing for flexibility in terms of the size and shape of objects that can be detected. Additionally, it is capable of switching speeds up to 2μs.

Conclusion

The OPB360P51 optical slot-type photointerrupter sensor is a reliable device for detecting and switching a variety of objects. Its small size and narrow slot-type configuration provide flexibility and allow it to be used in a variety of settings. It is capable of sensing a variety of objects, and has a long life expectancy of five million cycles. Additionally, it is suitable for use in areas where safety needs to be ensured, such as in machines and industrial plants.
