Qt30cm Transmissive Infrared ThroughBeam Photoelectric Switch The QT30CM is a robust two-piece infrared photoelectric sensing system designed for efficient throughbeam detection. This system includes an infrared emitter tube and a receiver tube, working together as a pair to create a reliable transmissive photoelectric switch. When an object interrupts the IR beam between the emitter and receiver, the receiver generates a switch signal. This noncontact approach enhances system longevity and minimizes maintenance needs. Key Benefits: - Noncontact object detection: Effectively identifies presence or absence without physical contact, reducing wear on mechanical components. - Quick and reliable response: Ideal for environments requiring prompt detection and minimal false triggering. - Easy alignment: The clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver ensures stable performance across the specified range. Key Attributes: - Type: Transmissive infrared throughbeam photoelectric switch - Configuration: 1 pair (infrared emitter tube and infrared receiver tube) - Model: QT30CM - Detection Distance: Up to 30 cm - Sensing Principle: Beam interruption between emitter and receiver triggers a switch signal - Application: Perfect for automation tasks needing presence/absence sensing across a defined gap Compatibility and Integration: - Designed to work with standard control circuits and automation setups that utilize photoelectric sensing. - Requires proper alignment of the emitter and receiver tubes for dependable detection. - Suitable for conveyor lines, automation cells, and machine guard applications where noncontact sensing is advantageous. Typical Use Cases: - Conveyor Line Object Detection: Monitors moving items and activates sorting, accumulation, or stop gates as objects pass between the emitter and receiver. - End-of-Travel or Limit Sensing: Detects the position of doors, gates, or moving machine components to manage motion or safety interlocks. - Part Presence Verification: Confirms the presence of components at a workstation or during packaging to ensure the process continues smoothly. Installation and Operation Notes: - Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the emitter and receiver tubes for accurate detection. - Align the transmitter and receiver to keep the IR beam unobstructed across the full 30 cm range. - Ideal for applications where noncontact, reliable detection is preferred over mechanical switches.
