IR Infrared QT50CM Photoelectric Switch Sensor
The IR Infrared QT50CM Photoelectric Switch Sensor detects the presence or absence of objects using infrared technology. It consists of an infrared emitter and receiver placed opposite each other, working on the through-beam principle. When an object interrupts the infrared beam, the sensor detects the change and outputs a signal.
Package Includes:
- 1 x QT50CM Photoelectric Switch Sensor
Principle of Work:
The sensor emits infrared light from an IR LED, which is detected by an IR photodiode or phototransistor receiver. When an object interrupts the beam, the receiver detects the change and converts it into an electrical output, allowing detection of objects based on light interruption..
Features:
- Infrared technology for reliable object detection.
- Through-beam sensing with separate emitter and receiver units.
- Non-contact sensing for versatile applications.
- High detection accuracy and sensitivity.
- Wide detection range with adjustable or fixed distances.
- Industrial-grade durability with rugged construction.
- Fast response time for real-time detection.
Specifications:
- Operating Voltage: 5 V DC
- Measuring Range: 2 - 50 cm
- Type: Through-beam
- Material Physical Properties: Inductive
- Craftsmanship: Integrated
- Output Signal: Switch type
- Launching Current: 30 mA
- Receiving Current: 10 mA
- Working Environment: Indoor (not waterproof)
- Dimension: 20 x 10 x 8 mm (L x W x H)
- Cable Length: 30 cm
- Working Life: 50,000 hours
- Weight: 6.55 g
Applications:
- Packaging automation: Detects presence of packages, boxes, or labels to control conveyor or machines.
- Material handling: Controls movement and positioning in conveyor systems.
- Warehouse automation: Detects pallets for sorting, stacking, or routing.
- Security systems: Detects intruders or objects in restricted areas to trigger alarms.
- Industrial automation: Used in assembly lines, machine control, and quality control.
- Conveyor systems: Prevents collisions or jams by detecting objects.
- Packaging and labeling: Detects presence of items for packaging processes.
