    about Photomicro Sensor

    Photo micro sensors are the type of sensors use for the detection of various objects. Photomicro
    sensors are not only use for the detection of the objects, photomicro sensors are use for the speed
    and direction of rotation or movement for the object detected also. These sensors need to be
    highly responsive in order to effectively take the measurements or generate outputs. These
    sensors are highly reliable and highly frequency responsive. There are a number of photomicro
    sensors use in various fields for various operations. An optical beam is use in these sensors in
    order to detect the object. The positions of the objects are also measured with the help of an
    optical beam in these sensors. These sensors are categorized in different types according to their
    working and configurations. The different configurations of these sensors make these sensors
    very popular. These sensors are used in various machines, but people are still unfamiliar with
    these types of sensors. The various applications of photomicro sensor includes copy machines,
    X-Y plotters, printers, mouse, image scanners, camcorders, DVD players, AC, vacuum cleaner,
    automatic vending machines, garage doors, cameras, pinball machines and more. 
    Operating Principles of photo micro
    Sensors
     
     

    Operating Principles of Photo Micro Sensor


    There are two main operating principles for the operation of photo micro sensors as following.

    Properties of Light
    This operating principle for the photo micro sensors is further divided into various parts such as
    refraction, rectilinear propagation, and reflection.
     Refraction:
    In refraction, the phenomena for a sensor is quite simple in which the angle of the light wave
    changes as soon as it enters another medium. 
     Rectilinear Propagation:
    The slit present on the outside of the sensor through-beam is use to detect the presence of the
    object. The slit is produced every time when a light signal travels in water or in air. This
    operating principle for photomicro sensor is applicable for the detection of small objects.
     Reflection:
    The light signal reflects when it collides with a surface that has properties to conduct back the
    signal. The angles at which the light reflects results into different kind of reflections such as
    regular reflection, diffuse reflection, and retroreflection. 

    Light Sources
    The light source operating principles are different than the other operating criteria of the sensor
    which is classify into two sub-categories which are: modulated light and non-modulated light.
     Modulated Light:
    These kinds of lights are not disturb by different lights like lamp lights, sunlight. The LED is
    pulse lighted component and it is use in different sensors for this mechanism. 
     Non-modulated Light:
    In this operating principle, there is a very high-speed response of the sensor. A constant amount
    of light is use continuously radiate the sensor. The only issue with these sensors is the external
    interference of the light present.

    Features of Photomicro Sensors:


    Photomicro sensors have a number of features that are utilize in different circuits. The features of
    the photomicro sensors are as follow:
     The photomicro sensors are operational in different circuits.
     These sensors come in with a number of shapes and specifications.
     The downsizing of these sensors is easily adjustable. 
     The photomicro sensor comes in with different shapes and sizes to be configure in
    different desire sections. 
     The rates of the photomicro sensors are low.
     An indicator is use in the photomicro sensor for the indication purposes. 
     The photomicro sensors come in with different specifications and the degree. 
     Different IC photo output types. 
     Suitable termination styles.
     Photo IC outputs.
     These sensors are available in different ratings and specifications. 
     

    Classification of Sensing Method:

    Classification of Sensing Method


    1)  Slot Sensors
    Slot Sensors are suitable for applications using a thin sensing object that require a highly precise
    sensing position. Setup is easy because there is no need for optical axis adjustment. There are
    many product variations. The necessary configuration, connection method, and other items can
    be selected from a wide array of models.
    2)  Through-beam Sensors
    Through-beam Sensors are suitable for applications that require relatively long sensing distances.
    3) Retroreflective Sensors
    Retroreflective Sensors are suitable for applications that require relatively long sensing distances.
    They have the advantage of requiring less work for wiring and optical axis adjustment when
    compared to Through-beam Sensors.
    4) Diffuse-reflective Sensors
    Diffuse-reflective Sensors are suitable for applications where the sensing object is thick and
    won’t fit into the slot of a Slot Sensor.
     
    5) Limited-reflective Sensors
    Limited-reflective Sensors are basically the same as Diffuse-reflective Sensors, but they are
    suitable when background objects are present. (With Diffuse-reflective Sensors, the presence of a
    background object with higher reflectivity than the sensing object (e.g., metals with mirror
    finishing) may cause sensing instability.)

    Considerations when Choosing a Sensing


    Method

    1) Slot Sensors
     Shape, slot width, connection (pre-wired/connector)
     Presence or absence of external light interference (non-modulated light/modulated light)
     Output configuration (Light-ON/Dark-ON, NPN/PNP)
     Indicator (Light-ON/Dark-ON)

    2) Through-beam Sensors
     Shape (built-in Amplifier, optical fiber), sensing distance
     Output configuration (Light-ON/Dark-ON)

    3) Retroreflective Sensors
     Sensing distance
     Output configuration (Light-ON/Dark-ON)

    4) Diffusive/Limited-reflective Sensors
     Shape (built-in Amplifier, optical fiber), sensing distance
     Presence or absence of background objects (Diffuse-reflective/Limited-reflective
    Sensors)
     External light interference (non-modulated light/modulated light)
     Output configuration (Light-ON/Dark-ON)
