E18-D80NK Infrared Proximity Sensor

The E18-D80NK proximity sensor allows you to detect objects from a distance without the need for contact, to achieve this the sensor emits an infrared light beam that, when impacting on an object, is reflected, this reflection is detected by the photoelectric sensor and a signal is emitted. detection. The sensor does not emit a signal with the distance, only displays ON/OFF (digital signal) states. It has a good detection range, which can be regulated by a trimmer within the same sensor. It also has an LED that is activated when the sensor detects an object, which allows us to calibrate and check the proper functioning of the sensor.

The sensor is widely used in 2 fields: mobile robotics and industrial automation. In mobile robotics, it allows detecting obstacles at a distance and thus avoiding crashes or looking for a new route. In automation, it is used for the counting of pieces in conveyor belts, it can detect materials such as: cardboard, glass, metal, wood. A space of at least 3 cm between object and object is recommended to avoid losing accounts.
