Introduction

Optical Sensors are extremely useful in many application fields because they allow for the collection, processing and analysis of light. The OPB617 Photointerrupter is a particular type of slot type photointerrupter with a logic output. This type of photointerrupter is often used in a wide range of applications such as in process automation, communications, robotics, medical imaging, industrial sensors, and more. This article will explore the working principle and application field of the OPB617 Optical Photointerrupter.

Working Principle of the OPB617 Photointerrupter

The working principle of the OPB617 Photointerrupter is based on the use of light to activate the device. It is composed of two units: an emitter and a receiver, both of which are housed in the same package. The emitter transmits an infrared light beam, which is then detected by the receiver. The receiver is mounted on the opposite side of the emitter and is connected to a logic output. When the emitter and receiver are not in line with each other, the device is off, and when the emitter and receiver are in line with each other, the device is on. The logic output of the OPB617 Photointerrupter can be used to power an external component, and the light beam can be used to detect the presence of an object. This type of photointerrupter is optimal for high speed operation, as it detecting only a fraction of a second.

Application Field of the OPB617 Photointerrupter

The OPB617 Photointerrupter can be used in a variety of applications, due to its high speed operation and simple design. It is commonly used in automated production lines and assembly systems, where a precise and reliable detection of objects is required. Additionally, it can be used in automated guidance systems, such as in forklifts, conveyor belts, and robots. In the medical industry, OPB617 Photointerrupters are often used for biomedical imaging, such as in endoscopy and to detect the presence of a needle in a syringe. In the automotive industry, they are commonly used in airbag deployment systems, as well as in seat belt monitoring systems.The OPB617 Photointerrupter is also widely used in industrial sensors, wind turbine control systems, alarms, and security systems, as well as in gaming and other applications. This type of photointerrupter is ideal for applications that require reliable and accurate sensing, even in harsh environments.

Conclusion

The OPB617 Photointerrupter is a type of slot type photointerrupter with a logic output and is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its simple design and high speed operation make it an ideal solution for applications where precise and reliable detection of objects is necessary. It is widely used in process automation, communications, robotics, medical imaging, industrial sensors, and more. Additionally, it is often used in airbag deployment systems, seat belt monitoring systems, and in security and alarm systems.
