Optical sensors are devices that detect light or infrared radiation from their environment, ultimately allowing automated systems to interpret the properties of their environment. One type of optical sensor is the Photointerrupter, which uses interruptors to detect and absorb optical signals from its environment. Slot Type Photointerrupters are active components that detect the presence of an object in its path, usually using an infrared light beam passing through an aperture and blocked by an object. The WF5T-B4210 is a Slot Type Photointerrupter with Transistor Output, used in a variety of applications for automated systems and industrial machinery.

Applications

The WF5T-B4210 is primarily used in automated systems to detect and track objects that pass in its vicinity. This can be useful in factory automation, robotic arms, and measuring and positioning systems. The WF5T-B4210 is also ideal for detection of openings in machine parts, where the intensity of the infrared radiation transmitted through the slot can be collected and measured, helping to identify the opening size. Lastly, the WF5T-B4210 can be used to measure the absolute relative position of track switches in model railroads.

Working Principle

The WF5T-B4210 works by detect objects using its infrared light beam that is transmitted through its slot aperture. The output then switches off and on depending on whether an object is in the sensing range. The typical feel range for this type of photointerrupter is between 0.3mm to 10mm and it can detect objects traveling at speeds of up to 1m/s.

The WF5T-B4210 is powered by 5V and consumes 1.1W of power, allowing it to be used in a wide range of applications. The WF5T-B4210 features a rated operating temperature of -20 to 70°C and a response time of 1ms. It also features an array of convenience features such as a wide slot, a longer sensing range, a thin mounting profile, and its transistor output.

Conclusion

The WF5T-B4210 is a Slot Type Photointerrupter with Transistor Output, which is a type of optical sensor that can be used for a variety of applications in automated systems and industrial machinery. Its infrared light beam can detect objects within its sensing range and measure their properties, such as size and speed. Additionally, the WF5T-B4210 is energy efficient and requires little power to operate. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
