Optical Sensors, specifically Photointerrupters, are widely used in a variety of applications. One popular type of sensor is the Slot type Photointerrupter, which is used in applications where the need fast and precise operation is paramount. The WF80-60B416 Slot Type Transistor Output sensor is one example of such a sensor, and is often used for applications such as motion sensing and motion control.

The Slot Type Photointerrupter is made up of two parts, the transmitter and receiver. The WF80-60B416 features a GaAs infrared diode as its transmitter, which makes it generate higher output power than other Photinterrupter types. It also features a high sensitive phototransistor as its detector, with a fast response time and low power dissipation properties.

The application field of the WF80-60B416 Sensor is quite broad, ranging from motion sensing, position sensing, presence sensing, security and access control applications to optical registry applications such as counting and measuring. Generally, its applications are optimized for high speed and accuracy of actuating, as well as recognizing events accurately.

In terms of working principles, a Slot Type Photinterrupter utilizes optical principles. It through a light-shielding barrier, referred to as a slot, the Photinterrupter functions when the light beam is interrupted by an object passing through the slot. When this happens, the sensor is triggered and the output of the Photinterrupter changes. Specifically for the WF80-60B416 Sensor, the transmitter is powered and the receiver detects when the transmitted light from the emitter is blocked. When the light is blocked, the Photinterrupter transmits a high level signal from the transistor output. On the other hand, when the transmitted light is not blocked, the sensor transmits a low output signal.

The WF80-60B416 Slot Type Photointerrupter is a good choice for applications requiring precise and fast operations such as motion sensing and motion control. It also allows for accuracy and repeatability thanks to its high sensitive receiver and GaAs IR emitter, further expanding its application field. All in all, the WF80-60B416 is an ideal choice for motion sensing applications.
