QPE1258 Sensors, Transducers

The QPE1258 Proximity Sensor is an ideal solution for a variety of industrial applications, including automated materials handling systems, packaging machines, and other automated production lines. It is a sealed unit with an integrated infrared sensor, an LED and a transmitter/receiver circuit that detect the presence of objects including hand tools, parts, and other objects. This sensor can detect objects from two inches to six feet away, with a resolution of 0.1 inch, making it an ideal solution for precision applications.

The QPE1258 Proximity Sensor works by emitting a modulated beam of infrared radiation. When the beam is blocked or interrupted by an object, a receiver in the sensor detects the blocked beam and sends a signal to its associated circuit board, which triggers the operation of the associated equipment or system. This sensor is a passive device, meaning it requires no external power source and runs on the energy from the beam itself.

The main advantage of the QPE1258 Proximity Sensor is its ability to detect objects at a wide range of distances. It features an adjustable detection range, from two inches to six feet, which makes it a great choice for applications where accuracy is a must. Additionally, this sensor has a high repeat accuracy as well as a low false positive rate, making it ideal in applications where reliability is important.

This sensor has many applications in industrial automation, including robotics, conveyor belts, and material handling systems. In these applications, the sensor’s adjustable detection range allows it to precisely detect objects from a predetermined distance. This makes it an ideal choice for creating systems that can automatically detect objects in a controlled environment. Additionally, the sensor can also be used in applications such as motion detection, detection of personnel entering and exiting areas, and in process control.

The QPE1258 Proximity Sensor is a reliable and accurate solution for industrial automation applications. Its adjustable detection range and low false positive rate make it ideal for precision applications. Additionally, this sensor is also an effective tool for motion detection and process control, allowing for improved productivity and safety in a wide range of environments.
