Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.
1. Part or tab passage sensing
A feeder or compact assembly station may need to detect an opaque tab or part crossing a fixed optical slot.
Potential use
Mount the sensor around the passing target and confirm the 2 × 0.8 mm minimum opaque object and selected Light-ON/Dark-ON logic.
5 mm slot width
2 × 0.8 mm target
PNP
IP50
2. Rotary position or indexing detection
A slot sensor may provide a discrete signal as a flag or vane passes through the optical path.
Potential use
Align the vane in the slot and connect the PNP output to a compatible input; validate switching frequency and the required connector cable separately.
