The Gravity Photo Interrupter Module integrates a high-performance ITR9608 photoelectric switch. Its compact design and easy operation make it an ideal choice for electronic projects and applications. Whether for robotics, automation equipment, or counting systems, this module provides precise photoelectric detection and efficient signal processing.


What is the photo interrupter?

The photo interrupter is a device that operates by blocking light with an object. Its main components include a light emitter and a light receiver, both arranged face-to-face within the same enclosure. When an object passes through the light path between the emitter and receiver, the light at the receiver is obstructed, triggering the operation of the photoelectric sensor.

Features:

  • High Sensitivity and Precision: Utilizing the ITR9608 slotted photoelectric switch.
  • Wide Photonic Gap: With a 5.0mm wide photonic gap design, it is suitable for detecting objects of various sizes.
  • Simple and Easy to Use: Designed with a standard Gravity interface, it offers easy operation and strong compatibility, making connections hassle-free.
  • Strong Compatibility: Arduino, micro:bit, and UNIHIKER
  • Applications:

  • Counter: Facilitates object counting on production lines.
  • Speed Detection and Measurement: Provides pulse signals for calculating rotation speed and frequency.
