Descripꢀon:
The OPB800L series, PCBoard mounꢁng, of wide gap switch provides the flexibility of a custom device from a standard
product line, while the OPB800W series, remote mounted, switch offers 24” (610 mm) 26 AWG wire interconnect.
Building from a standard housing that uꢁlizes a 0.375” (9.5 mm) wide slot, a user can specify the electrical output
parameters, discrete shell material and the aperture width.
Housings are made from an opaque grade of injecꢁon-molded plasꢁc that minimizes the assembly’s sensiꢁvity to visible and
near-infrared ambient radiaꢁon. Discrete shells, which are exposed on parallel faces inside the device throat, are made of
IR transmissive plasꢁc (for applicaꢁons where aperture contaminaꢁon may occur) or of opaque plasꢁc with aperture
openings (for maximum protecꢁon against ambient light).
Applicaꢀons:
Non-contact interrupꢁve object sensing
Assembly line automaꢁon
Machine automaꢁon
Equipment security
Machine safety
