OPB697AZ

The OPB697AZ is an optical slot type sensor with a logic output, which is used to detect the presence or absence of an object. It is commonly used for industrial applications such as production lines and quality control. The OPB697AZ has a very small size, making it an ideal choice for many applications.

The OPB697AZ is a two-part component consisting of an emitter and receiver housed in a single package. The emitter emits an infrared (IR) light beam onto a reflector at a specific angle and then receives the reflection from the reflector. When the obstacle or object passes through the slot, the emitted beam is blocked and the receiver does not receive the reflection, thus resulting in a “logic low” output signal.

The light source for the OPB697AZ is typically a light-emitting diode (LED) with an optimized optical design. It is designed to be highly sensitive and accurately detect any objects that are placed in its detection area. The output signal is a thin-film transistor (TFT) compliant digital output, which is used to interface with other logic in the system. The OPB697AZ also features high immunity from ambient light to ensure reliable operation in bright environments.

The OPB697AZ is capable of detecting objects with high accuracy across a wide range of sizes and materials. It offers a response time of less than 30μs and a threshold adjustment of up to 2mm. It also has a temperature range of -20 to +85°C, making it suitable for use in a variety of industrial environments.

The OPB697AZ is an ideal choice for a variety of applications. It can be used to detect the presence of a part in production lines, to monitor the passage of an object through a slot in a conveyor system, to count objects moving on an assembly line, and to check the quality of manufactured components. It can also be used for safety applications, such as the activation of emergency stop buttons.

The OPB697AZ is a highly reliable and versatile optical slot type sensor with an impressive range of features and benefits. Its small size and high accuracy make it an ideal choice for many industrial applications.
