Medium range Infrared Sensor(Product Code: IR01A)

[Myline]

Hi,guys,I get this sensor from Cytron product.
Anyone,who have experience with it?
My project used to detect the object in production line,
as u know the goods from production line is in motion.
If i using this sensor,will this sensor able to detect my object in production line?
Thank in advance....

hi Myline
IR01A is very good sensor for the model version of production line, bcoz the effective detection range is around 1 feet and daylight sensitive....so if ur design is within that range its ok for u....but if u re looking for flexiblity with range upto 6 feets and daylight resistance....i suggest u turn to KEYENCE PZ2-42 that i had experience before...

Should be no problem, it can detect my hand waving, quite fast response

Anyway I think the range is not 1 feet, the spec is 10cm, but that is if the object have good reflective surface.... if using hand, my experience say is around 5 to 8cm only. So it do depend on the range of object from sensor.

Is that the output of signal of this sensor can connect to input of Xbeepro?
As what I know the signal voltage is 5V,XbeePro input is 3.3V,
if i step it down the voltage can it function as digital input for Xbee-Pro?

Is that the surface of the object must shinning
for a sensitivity to sensor...
If my object is 2cmx2cm is that able detect
by this sensor?
(Did u try before how small object can be detected)...
thank

...u can do that with the very minimum interfacing...no prob..
p/s..i got that keyence....from my previous project..!

Well, I think is fine, my hand is not shinning, but it can still detect.
2cm x 2cm is big enough, even a finger (~1cm) also can detect, still will depend on how is the sensor being position.
