OPB365T55 Application Field and Working Principle

Optical Sensors - Photointerrupters - Slot Type - Transistor Output

Photointerrupters (also called opto sensors) are devices that use an optical waveguide as an active part to detect the presence of objects. They are widely used in automation systems such as automatic door openers, mechanical sensors in robots and robotics applications, medical equipment, motion detectors, and other motion control applications. The OPB365T55 is a slot-type photointerrupter with transistor output.

Application field

The OPB365T55 can be used in many automation and motion control applications. It is especially applicable in factory automation systems due to its easily interface to PLCs and its speed of output. It is also suitable for use in home automation, such as door openers and motion detectors, as well as medical devices, such as respirators and heart rate monitors. It is also used in robotics applications to detect the position of parts and to count objects.

Working principle

The OPB365T55 consists of a slot-type photointerrupter. Photointerrupters are devices that create an optical circuit between two objects. They use an optical waveguide as an active part. The object to be detected is placed in the slot of the photointerrupter. When the object passes through the slot, the optical waveguide is interrupted, which changes its resistance. This change in resistance is then detected and converted into an electrical signal. The signal is then processed and transmitted to a PLC or other controller.

The OPB365T55 is designed for highly accurate photointerrupting. It uses a slotted optical waveguide in combination with a transistor light source. This ensures that the detection is highly accurate and repeatable. It also ensures low false triggering, which is important for reliable automation systems. Moreover, the transistor light source helps in further reducing the false triggering.

The OPB365T55 is easy to install due to its slim design. Furthermore, its minimal power consumption also makes it easy to use for long periods of time. Its high accuracy, reliability, and power consumption makes it a great choice for a wide variety of applications.

In conclusion, the OPB365T55 is a slot-typephotointerrupter with transistor output. It is widely used in automation systems, medical devices, and robotics applications. It has high accuracy and low power consumption. Its slim design and ease of installation make it a great choice for many applications.
