Omron Slotted Opto Switch Transmissive Photomicrosensor

The Omron Slotted Opto Switch is a compact transmissive photomicrosensor designed to accurately sense objects or object positions using an optical beam. This advanced sensor incorporates an IC chip with a built-in detector element and amplifier, ensuring reliable and consistent performance across various operating conditions. Additionally, it features a detector element with a built-in temperature compensation circuit, which maintains accuracy even when environmental temperatures fluctuate.

Designed for seamless integration, this opto switch directly connects with C-MOS and TTL systems. It offers high resolution, featuring a 0.5mm wide sensing aperture that allows for precise detection tasks. The transmissive photomicrosensor functions by incorporating an emitter and a detector facing each other. When an object enters the sensing position between them, it intercepts the optical beam, thereby reducing the optical energy reaching the detector and triggering the switch. This Light ON model is specifically engineered for demanding sensing and instrumentation tasks.
