This module is similar to a scaled-up IR reflective object sensor; it combines an IR emitter and receiver on one end, and is pointed at a reflector placed across the track, up to 10 meters away.

Proximity sensors are common enough in automation projects that we hardly give them a second thought — pick something with specs that match the job and move on. But they can be ...

CAMBRIDGE, UK — The OPB733TR miniature reflective sensor from Optek combines a 7.6×4.06 mm footprint with lensed optics for enhanced sensing range in space-constrained applications. The reflective ...

This creates an area in front of the sensor that mechanically blocks any false readings to ensure error-free detection of highly reflective, depolarizing targets.
