Types of photoelectric switches
What is a photoelectric switch?
A photoelectric switch is a sensor that uses light (usually infrared) to detect the presence of objects. It consists of a transmitter and a receiver. By detecting whether an object blocks or reflects the light beam, it converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which then controls the circuit. The advantages of this type of switch are that it can detect objects of various materials and has a wide range of applications, commonly found in automation control, security systems, and warehousing equipment.
What is a photo optic sensor?
A photooptic sensor is a device that uses the physical properties of light (such as intensity, reflection, or obstruction) to detect the presence or changes in the state of an object. It typically consists of a "light-emitting section" that emits light and a "light-receiving section" that receives changes in light. When an object blocks or reflects light, the amount of light received by the light-receiving section changes, and the sensor converts this change into an electronic signal and outputs it.
What is the working principle of a diffuse reflective photoelectric switch?
The working principle of a diffuse reflective photoelectric switch is that the transmitter emits light, and when the light is reflected back to the receiver by the surface of an object, a switching signal is generated. This type of sensor integrates the transmitter and receiver, detecting objects by the reflection of light from their surfaces. When the amount of reflected light is sufficient, the receiver will sense it and generate a signal.
