Suggested applications

Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.

1. Label or mark detection at a guide slot

A narrow feed path may need to detect a small mark or passing opaque part without aligning separate emitter and receiver axes.

Potential use

Position the grooved sensor around the material path and verify the 3 mm reference mark and mechanical clearance using the actual substrate.

30 mm 3 mm mark 940 nm 1 ms

2. Small-part passage confirmation

A station may need a switching signal as a small object passes through a fixed slot.

Potential use

Use the NPN output with a compatible controller input; validate the target and switching margin before production.
