OPB900W51Z

Optical Sensors are devices used to detect light or optical signals and convert them into electrical signals. Photointerrupters are types of optical sensors that are used to detect and measure the interruption of light. The Slot Type of photointerrupters use light beam interruption to detect the presence of an object. The OPB900W51Z is an example of a slot type photointerrupter with a logic output.

The OPB900W51Z has a 5mm slot width compared to models with narrower slots of only 2mm. This larger slot width allows the OPB900W51Z to be used in a variety of applications where detection or measurement of the interruption of light is desired. For instance, this model is commonly used in industrial automation equipment, such as robotic arms, to detect the boundaries of a work area or the presence of a moving object. Other applications include medical equipment, conveyor belt systems, automatic doors, and machine vision systems.

The OPB900W51Z works off of an emitter and receiver pair with an internal optical shutter. The emitter is a visible light LED while the receiver is a phototransistor. When an object passes through the slot in the OPB900W51Z, it will block the light from the LED, and this will cause the receiver to see a decrease in its current, which then produces a logic output. This output can be in a range of logic levels, such as 12V, 5V, and 0V, so it can be connected to various types of controllers.

The model also has an internal power down function that prevents the LED from emitting any light when it is not in use. This increases the life of the emitter and prevents it from wasting power. Additionally, the model can operate over a wide temperature range from -25℃ to +85℃. The model is also highly reliable, with a lifetime of up to 1 million operations.

The OPB900W51Z is a versatile and reliable computational optical sensor. With its large 5mm slot width, it can be used in a variety of applications, such as industrial automation, medical equipment, and more. It is a great choice for sensing or measuring the interruption of light over a large range of temperatures. Additionally, the model has an internal power down feature that increases its lifetime and prevents it from wasting energy. Overall, the OPB900W51Z is a great model for sensing and measuring the interruption of light.
