Optical Sensors - Photointerrupters - Slot Type - Transistor Output

OPB850-1 application field and working principle

The OPB850-1 is a type of optical sensor from the Optical Sensors range, specifically from the Photointerrupters sub-category, under the Slot Type sub-category, with transistor output capabilities. It consists of an infrared emitting device and a receiver in a single package. This type of optical sensor is often used in industrial applications with difficult environmental conditions or when operating outside the range of visible light.The OPB850-1 is mainly used for sensing objects; its maximum operating distance is 10mm and it can detect objects within that distance accurately. The OPB850-1 works by infrared emission, receiver and detection of the object’s interrupt of the transmission. When an object interrupts the transmission, the receiver detects the interruption, which causes an internal switching action. The output is then a low level when the object is detected and a high level when the object is not detected.The OPB850-1 has many advantages such as its outstanding durability and reliability which allows it to be used in tough environmental conditions; its compact form factor, which makes it easy to install and assemble; and its low operating voltage, which allows it to be powered by a smaller power source. It also has a wide sensing range, allowing it to detect objects at large distances accurately and with excellent precision.The OPB850-1’s construction includes an infrared light-emitting diode, a photodetector, and an amplifier, all housed within a single package. When power is applied to the IR emitter through the amplifier, an infrared beam is emitted from the diode. When an object passes through the beam’s path, the infrared light is intercepted and the photodetector detects the decrease in light and gives the output of a low level. When there is no object, the photodetector detects the infrared light emitted from the diode and gives the output of a high level.One of the main applications of the OPB850-1 is controlling the movement of materials in the factory or the factory automation. It is used to detect the presence or absence of products or bulk material on conveyor belts, allowing it to control the speed, direction, and alignment of the material. It is also used to detect the presence or absence of objects in different production processes, such as testing, sampling, and counting.The OPB850-1 is a reliable, accurate, and very economical optical sensor and it is suitable for many industrial automation applications. It is durable and can operate under harsh environmental conditions and therefore, it offers a great degree of flexibility for many applications. Furthermore, with its low operating voltage and compact form factor, it is an ideal choice for applications with limited space or with limited power supply.
