Here is the circuit of a little label sensor ideal for detecting labels on bottles. The circuit offers a peak sensing distance of 2.5 mm (operating range 0.2 mm to 15 mm) backed up by the proven ...

When you’re designing miniature optical switches, reflective sensors are your best friend. They streamline the interaction between humans and machines in an elegant and intuitive manner. These sensors ...

Offered as a direct form, fit and function for the Optek OPR5005 sensor, the 67070 reflective sensor detects the proximity or motion of diffuse reflective surfaces. The component combines a silicon ...

Factory automation products in the Festo range from RS Components now include the SOOD and SOOE photoelectric sensors. The distributor has also added VUVS pneumatic solenoid valves. The Festo SOOD and ...

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 ...
