• Introduction
  • Optical sensors are devices used to detect objects in a given space or environment. Photointerrupters are a type of optical sensor that detects interruptions of a light path, usually when an object passes between two points of light.
  • The RX4-M5-C3 is a good example of a slot type photointerrupter with a logic output. It utilizes a built-in infrared LED and an NPN phototransistor to detect objects. The logic output allows digital signals to be generated when it detects a change in the light.
• Application Field
  • The RX4-M5-C3 can be used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Some examples include printing machinery, sorting and counting, factory automation, process control applications, and proximity sensing.
  • This device is also ideal for use in medical devices, robotics, and laboratory equipment. The slot type design and its robust nature make it suitable for use in harsh environments. It also works well in high-speed applications.
  • The device can be used to detect a range of objects, including metal objects, paper or plastic, liquids, and even smoke.
• Working Principle
  • The basic working principle behind the RX4-M5-C3 is very simple. It uses an infrared LED, which emits light into a slot. When the slot is blocked, the light is interrupted, and the NPN phototransistor receives no signal. When the slot is clear, the light is detected by the phototransistor, and the device generates a logic level signal.
  • The infrared LED has a very long lifetime and is not affected by ambient light. The device is also designed to be very sensitive, so it can detect even small objects. It is also designed to be very reliable and resistant to vibration and shocks.
