Working Principle of the WF15-40B410

The WF15-40B410 works based on the photoelectric effect. It consists of two main components: an infrared LED light source and a photodiode detector. When the infrared light beam is interrupted by a moving object, the photodiode detector will detect the change. The reflected light is then processed and the output will change from low to high.At the core of the WF15-40B410 is the infrared LED light source. When illuminated, the LED will produce a visible infrared light beam of a certain intensity. When the object is detected, the infrared light beam will be interrupted and the photodiode detector will detect the change. The photodiode detector will then process the change in the light intensity and convert it into an analog output.The output of the WF15-40B410 is a transistor-level signal. It can be used to detect the presence or absence of an object. The transistor output is the most commonly used output type in most of the applications involving photointerrupters.

Conclusion

The WF15-40B410 Slot Type Transistor Output photointerrupter is suitable for many automation and production systems. It is highly sensitive and has a wide range of applications, such as robotics, material handling, industrial counting, and other production-related applications. The WF15-40B410 works based on the photoelectric effect and it consists of two main components: an infrared LED light source and a photodiode detector. When the infrared light beam is interrupted by a moving object, the photodiode detector will detect the change and generate a transistor-level output.
