A sensor that detects an interrupted light beam
Photointerrupters detect mechanical movement without physical contact. An infrared LED shines from one side towards a light-sensitive detector on the other. When an object blocks the beam, the detector registers the change and provides an output signal.
Useful for detecting:
- A closed door or box
- A card inserted into a slot
- Rotational speed of a perforated disc
