Photointerrupters, commonly known as Slot Type Transistor Output (TCST 1300) sensors, are a type of optical sensor used in many everyday applications. These sensors are typically used as proximity sensors or switches, and have the ability to detect the presence of an object moving or stationary. As its name suggests, the TCST 1300 works by detecting changes in light intensity as an object interrupts the signal emitted by the sensor. This article will explore the TCST 1300’s application field and working principle.

Application Field

The TCST 1300 is used in a variety of industries, from medical to consumer electronics. In medical and consumer industries, these sensors are used to detect the presence of objects and can be used as switches to activate a specific function. For example, in medical applications, they can be used to detect and count the movement of a person or object. In consumer electronics, the TCST 1300 is used for digital devices and to control access to areas of a building.

In industry, these sensors are used heavily in automation and robotics. They can detect the proximities of objects and can also be used to interpret data regarding the motion of objects. The TCST 1300 can be used in robots to detect if changes occurred in its path, or to detect if there are obstacles in its path. It can also be used for data collection and tracking of objects in an automated environment.

Working Principle

At the core of the TCST 1300’s ability to detect objects is its use of a transmitter and receiver. When an object interrupts the light from the transmitter, the receiver senses the change and sends a signal to the electronics processor indicating that an object has been detected. This is done by using an infrared beam that emits from the transmitter part of the sensor. The infrared beam will be interrupted when an object passes by, which causes the receiver part of the sensor to register a change in light intensity.

In order to sense when an object interrupts the infrared beam, the TCST 1300 uses a process known as transduction. This process involves the detection of energy, which is usually light, and converting it into a digital signal. This digital signal is then processed by the electronics processor, which then communicates to the user or system what was detected. The TCST 1300 is able to accurately detect objects that are moving, stationary, or changing shapes.

The TCST 1300 is highly versatile and is able to be used in a variety of applications. Its ability to accurately detect objects of any size, shape, or movement, makes it ideal for a variety of uses. With its low power consumption and range of up to 11mm, it is a reliable and economical way to detect the presence of objects.
