OP180 IR Infrared Reflective Sensor (ITR9606)

OP180 is an optical limit switch. Manufactured based on ITR9606, consisting of infrared emitting diode and silicon phototransistor.

For controlling machines as part of a control system, as a security interlock or for counting objects passing a point They are used. A limit switch is an electromechanical device consisting of an actuator mechanically connected to a series of contacts. When an object touches the actuator, the device operates contacts to make or break the electrical connection.

The actuator of this Unit consists of a pair of IR parts, transmitter side and receiver side (silicon phototransistor ) occurs. The IR emitter will continue to send out the IR wave while the receiver continues to detect the IR wave. IR radiates directly from one side to the other, so if there is no object in between, the receiving side will receive the IR signal. This is how it detects that the electrical connection is broken.
