Description

OP.180 is a unit of a 180° non-contact optical limit switch. It consists of infrared emitters and receivers on both sides. During normal operation, the emitter continuously emits infrared signals to the receiver. When an object passes through the middle and blocks the infrared signal, the output terminal generates an action signal, indicating the detection of the object passing by.

OP.180 unit is commonly used in mechanical control systems, serving as a safety interlock or an optical counting device. It provides a reliable and non-contact method of detecting the presence or movement of objects within its detection range. It can be employed in various applications such as automated machinery, conveyor systems, robotic arms, and other industrial equipment.

The non-contact nature of OP.180 optical limit switch eliminates the need for physical contact with the object being detected, reducing wear and tear on the switch and increasing its lifespan. It offers a versatile and efficient solution for object detection and positioning in automated systems.
