Showing Results For: Slotted Optical Switches
Slotted optical switches, also known as photo interrupters, are compact sensing devices used to detect the presence or absence of objects within a slot. These non-contact sensors are widely utilised in many due to their accuracy and reliability. Designed for fast response and easy integration, slotted optical switches are ideal for applications requiring precise object positioning or motion detection.
A slotted switch emits an infrared light beam from an emitter to a detector across a fixed slot. When an object disrupts the beam, the sensor detects the change and triggers a response. They offer non-contact detection, high reliability, and fast response times, making them ideal for environments where precision and durability are critical.
