Promising an enhanced sensing range in space-constrained applications, the OPB733TR reflective object sensor measures 0.3" x 0.16" with a PCB-mounted profile of 0.114". The component incorporates a ...

Everyone is familiar with pinwheels, and few of us haven’t crafted one from a square of paper, a stick, and a pin. Pinwheels are pretty optimized from a design standpoint, and are so cheap and easy to ...

Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...

What's behind the target can make a tremendous difference in how well reflective sensors do their job. Consider a photoelectric sensor operating in simple diffused mode (i.e., as a proximity sensor).

Simply put, sensors are the eyes and ears of industrial automation. Regardless of the application, automation is simply not possible in today’s manufacturing process without sensors. There are many ...
