A typical reflective object sensor consists of an infrared light emitter diode (IRED) and an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted side-by-side on parallel axes in a compact black plastic housing. The ...

Pacer Components offers a sensor which is available with three different optical technologies, infrared, visible red and VCSEL in the same common package. This gives the design engineer tremendous ...

World-Beam QS18 field foreground-suppression sensors detect objects regardless of color, reflectivity, surface irregularities, or background conditions. Universal mounting makes installation quick and ...

An 880-nm AlGaAs infrared emitter (IRED) and a NPN open-collector photo device (photo-IC) are mounted on a custom, four-leaded TO-72 header to make up the CL1700 Reflective Object Sensor. The IRED ...

Banner Engineering Corp. introduces the WORLD-BEAM® QS30 Clear Object Sensor, providing reliable clear object detection to solve challenging applications. The Clear Object Sensor utilizes an advanced ...

Once you have a track and a kart to race on it, what’s missing? A lap counter that can give your lap times in hardcopy, obviously! That’s what led [the_anykey] to create the Arduino-based Lap Timer to ...

TT Electronics has announced its OPB735 series Reflective Object Sensors for challenging industrial automation and safety applications. This reflective sensor features hermetically sealed components ...

The reflective properties of plastic make it a notorious offender in this regard. The problem even extends to those objects covered in shrink wrap. Polarizing filters help block false readings from ...

Driving at night might be a scary challenge for a new driver, but with hours of practice it soon becomes second nature. For self-driving cars, however, practice may not be enough because the lidar ...

Kitchen robots are a popular vision of the future, but if a robot of today tries to grasp a kitchen staple such as a clear measuring cup or a shiny knife, it likely won't be able to. Transparent and ...

An 880-nm AlGaAs infrared emitter (IRED) and a NPN open-collector photo device (photo IC) are mounted on a custom, four-leaded TO-72 header to make up the CL1700 Reflective Object Sensor. The IRED ...
