OPB875P55

Optical Sensors are devices that measure light intensity or light direction. Photointerrupters are devices that detect when something blocks the path of a beam of light. Slot Type Photointerrupters are sensors that detect when an object passes through a slot formed by two light beams intersecting each other. The OPB875P55 belongs to this category of sensors, and is used for various applications in industrial automation systems.

The OPB875P55 is a slot type optoelectronic sensor with a built-in amplifier and optocoupler, which allows it to be connected directly to a PLC or micro controller, without the need for an additional amplifier. This sensor is typically used for positioning or object detection applications, particularly for applications where accuracy and repeatability are important. It is designed to detect objects as thick as 0.6 mm and can operate at speeds up to 200 kHz.

The OPB875P55 consists of an infrared emitting diode (IRED) and a phototransistor, arranged in a special slot configuration. When an object passes through the slot, the light is interrupted and the transistor\'s output can be read. There are two types of outputs available for the OPB875P55: transistor and open collector, depending on the user\'s requirements. The open collector output has a maximum voltage rating of 35VDC when used in its current state, while the transistor output is rated up to 50 mA.

The OPB875P55 is easy to set up and requires no costly external components. It is capable of operating in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +85°C and features an extended lifespan of up to 100 million operations. The sensor is CE and RoHS compliant and comes with a full 2-year warranty.

The OPB875P55 is an ideal solution for applications requiring very high precision and accuracy. The combination of its reliable output and long term stability ensures the safety of personnel and the efficiency of the system. This makes the OPB875P55 an excellent choice for precision positioning and sensor applications in the industrial automation sector.
