PD4 |
Distance-measuring reflection photo sensor |
|
We want to detect such P. C. board! |
Feature
- Doesn't detect background
- Stable detection even black P.C. Board
- Sharp detection characteristics
This sensor doesn't detect background because of distance-measuring reflection type. - Detection of notch or hole
This sensor has oval detection area(19mm×2mm*) by applying non-spherical surface toric lens. - This value is for PD4-35RT/35RS. It is 24mm×2mm for PD4-45RT/45RS.

Detecting principle
It calculates the distance operation with light-receiving level ratio between near and far light-receiving photo diode(PD) in accordance with detecting distance.

Applications
